[tex]C(20,4)=\dfrac{20!}{4!16!}=\dfrac{17\cdot18\cdot19\cdot20}{2\cdot3\cdot4}=4845[/tex]

Answer:

Different ways can these students be selected = 4845

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of combinations possible from n number of population if r people are selected is [tex]^nC_r[/tex]

Here n = 20 and r = 4

Different ways can these students be selected = [tex]^{20}C_4[/tex]

[tex]^{20}C_4=\frac{20\times 19\times 18\times 17}{1\times 2\times 3\times 4}=4845[/tex]

Different ways can these students be selected = 4845
