A. C (13, 10) = 13! = 13·12·11 = 13 · 2 · 11 = 286. C (13, 10) = 13! = 13·12·11 = 13 · 2 · 11 = 286.

B. P (13,10) = 13! = 13! = 13·12·11·10·9·8·7·6·5·4. (13-10) ! 3!

C. f there is exactly one woman chosen, this is possible in C (10, 9) C (3, 1) =

10! 3!

9!1! 1!2! 10! 3!

8!2! 2!1! 10! 3!

7!3! 3!0!

= 10 · 3 = 30 ways; two women chosen - in C (10,8) C (3,2) =

= 45·3 = 135 ways; three women chosen - in C (10, 7) C (3, 3) =

= 10·9·8 ·1 = 120 ways. Altogether there are 30+135+120 = 285 1·2·3

possible choices.
