Harpo, Groucho, Chico, Zeppo, Gummo, Karl, and Skid have won three tickets to the opera. They will randomly choose three people from their group to attend the opera. How many outcomes are possible?

Respuesta :

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem therefore we need to use the combination formula using factorials, plug in the values for n and r which would be 7 since there are 7 individuals in the group and 3 because we are making outcomes of 3.

C(n,r)=C(7,3)

=7!(3!(7−3)!)

=7!3!×4!

= 35

Finally, we can see that the total number of possible outcomes is 35
