A team of (6) students is to be formed from (13) students. Exactly (3) of (5) special students must be included. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (560)

Direct answer: Option B, 560 ways. A team is an unordered group, so combinations are used. Exactly 3 of the 5 special students can be selected in \(\binom{5}{3}=10\) ways. The team has 6 members, leaving 3 places. There are \(13-5=8\) non-special students, and 3 of them can be chosen in \(\binom{8}{3}=56\) ways. Multiplication gives \(10\times56=560\). Option A, 420, is too small. Option B, 560, is correct because every counted team has exactly three special and three non-special students. Option C, 700, and option D, 840, are larger incorrect totals caused by overcounting or using the wrong group sizes. Choosing 6 from all 13 would not enforce the exact condition. Exam cue: “exactly 3” fixes both parts of the team—3 special and the remaining 3 non-special.
