A team of (6) students is to be formed from (12) students. Exactly (3) of (5) special students must be included. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (350)

Direct answer: Option C, 350 ways. Because a team is an unordered selection, combinations are appropriate. Exactly 3 of the 5 special students are selected, giving \(\binom{5}{3}=10\) choices. The team has 6 members, so the other \(6-3=3\) must come from the 7 non-special students. These can be chosen in \(\binom{7}{3}=35\) ways. Multiplying independent choices gives \(10\times35=350\). Option A, 280, is too small and does not equal the required product. Option B, 320, is another incorrect count. Option C, 350, is correct because it enforces exactly three special members and exactly three others. Option D, 420, is too large and overcounts. A common mistake is to choose 6 from all 12 first; that would not guarantee exactly three special students. Always split the selection into the specified groups.
