In how many ways can a team of (6) students be selected from (8) students?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (28)

Direct answer: Option B, 28. A team is a selection, so order does not matter. Choosing six students from eight is therefore a combination, written as \(\binom{8}{6}\). Using the formula, \(\binom{8}{6}=\frac{8!}{6!2!}=\frac{8×7}{2×1}=28\). An even easier idea is to choose the two students who are left out: \(\binom{8}{2}=28\), and every six-person team corresponds to exactly one excluded pair. Option A, 14, is too small and does not count all selections. Option B, 28, is correct. Option C, 48, does not follow the combination calculation. Option D, 56, is another overcount, often caused by treating selections as ordered or using the wrong factorial expression. Since a team has no first, second, or third member, permutations are not needed. Memory cue: selection without order means combination.
