Answer:
Number of ways to select 3 cars and 4 trucks = 18,480
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of ways to select 3 cars and 4 truck.
Given:
Total number of cars = 8
Total number of Trucks = 11
We need to find out how many ways can the inspector select 3 cars and 4 truck.
Solution:
Using combination formula.
[tex]nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]
Where, n = Total number of object.
m = Number of selected object.
We need to find out how many ways can the inspector select 3 cars and 4 truck from 8 cars and 11 trucks.
So, we write the the combination as given below.
[tex]8C_{3}\times 11C_{4} = Number\ of\ ways\ to\ selection[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8!}{3!(8-3)!} \times \frac{11!}{4!(11-4)!}= x[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{3!\times 5!} \times \frac{11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{4!\times 7!}[/tex]
Factorial 5 and 7 is cancelled.
[tex]x = \frac{8\times 7\times 6}{6} \times \frac{11\times 10\times 9\times 8}{24}[/tex] ([tex]3! = 6\ and\ 4! = 24[/tex])
[tex]x = (8\times 7) \times (11\times 10\times 3)[/tex] ([tex]\frac{9\times 8}{24}=\frac{72}{24}=3[/tex])
[tex]x=56\times 330[/tex]
x = 18480
Therefore, the Inspector can select 3 cars and 4 trucks in 18,480 ways,
