How many different 5-person basketball teams can a coach choose from among 7 players?

Answer #1

This is more math than sports… ehttp://funadvice.com/r/beep0jiobgl.

It’s the (n^k) = n! / (k!(n–k)!) formula. N is the number of players, k is the number of players in the team. the ! is the factorial function. Example: 3!=12*3 So your coach has 7 players and wants to form teams of 5…

= 7! / (5!(7-5)!) = (1234567) / (12345 (12)) = 5040 / (120 (2)) = 5040/ 240 = 21

There are 21 different possibilities.
