How many ways are there to select (2) candidates for an award from (12) candidates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 66

Only a group of 2 candidates is to be selected, so the order of selection does not matter. Therefore, use combinations: \(\binom{12}{2}=\frac{12\times11}{2\times1}=66\). Hence, the correct answer is 66. The value 132 would result from counting different orders of the same two candidates separately, which is not required here. Exam tip: Questions about selecting a team, committee, or group generally use combinations, \(\binom{n}{r}\).
