Patty has 8 flowerpots, and she wants to plant a different type of flower in each pot. There are 11 types of flower available at the garden shop. How many different ways can choose the flowers?

Respuesta :

The combination formula is given by

C(n, r) = [tex] \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} [/tex]

C(11, 8) = [tex] \frac{11!}{(11-8)!8!} [/tex]

C(11, 8) = 165

So, there are 165 ways of choosing 8 flowers out of 11 flowers
