What is the correct expression for this problem?
8 students have been chosen to play for PCU's inter-collegiate basketball team. If every person on the team has an equal chance of starting, what is the probability that both TOM and Alex will start?
(Assume 5 starting positions)
a) (6!/3!3!)/(8!/5!3!) b) (6*5*4)/(8*7*6*5*4) c) (6!/3!3!)/(8*7*6*5*4)
Can any one explain me, how to get the answer.
