A company employs 10 people and plans to select a group of 4 of these employees to receive advanced training. How many ways can the group of four employees be selected?

I thought this would be rather simple and I am completely stuck.. Any help with a formula would be much appreciated..

To determine the number of ways that a group of four employees can be selected from a pool of 10 employees, you can use the concept of combinations. The formula for calculating combinations is given by:

C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n - r)!)

In this formula, "n" represents the total number of employees, and "r" represents the number of employees to be selected. The exclamation mark (!) represents the factorial function, which is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given number.

In this case, you want to select a group of four employees out of a pool of ten employees. So you would substitute n = 10 and r = 4 into the formula:

C(10, 4) = 10! / (4!(10 - 4)!)

Calculating this expression will give you the number of ways to select a group of four employees for training.
