What is 15 choose 9?
Answer
15 choose 9 is
5,005
Order doesn't matter, no repeats: 5,005 ways to choose 9 of 15 items.
Choosing 9 of 15 is the same as leaving 6 out: C(15, 9) = C(15, 6).
C(15, 9) = 15! / (9! · 6!)
= C(15, 6)
= (15 × 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 × 10) / (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= 3,603,600 / 720
= 5,005
If order matters (permutations): P(15, 9) = 15 × 14 × 13 × … × 7 = 1,816,214,400 — each combination in 9! = 362,880 orders.
