(a) a certain college team has on its roster four centers, five guards, three forwards, and one individual (x) who can play either guard or forward. how many different starting lineups can be created?

1 . Consider lineups without x. You have to select

2 guards from 5 quards;2 forwards from 3 forwards;1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

$C_5^2\cdot C_3^2\cdot C_4^1=10\cdot 3\cdot 4=120$ different ways.

2. Consider lineups with x as guard. You have to select

2 guards from 6 quards (one of them must be x);2 forwards from 3 forwards;1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

$C_5^1\cdot C_3^2\cdot C_4^1=5\cdot 3\cdot 4=60$ different ways.

3. Consider lineups with x as forward. You have to select

2 guards from 5 quards;2 forwards from 4 forwards (one of them must be x);1 center from 4 centers.

It can be made in

$C_5^2\cdot C_3^1\cdot C_4^1=10\cdot 3\cdot 4=120$ different ways.

Therefore, the total number of different lineups is

120+60+120=300.

Answer from: stuckonquestions

300

Justification:

Follow the hint:

1) Line ups without x:

Number of guards to pick: 2 of 5 => C5,2
Number of forwards to pick: 2 of 3 => C3,2
Number of centers to pick 1 of 4 => C4,1

Number of possible combinations: C5,2 * C3,2 * C4,1

The formula for Cm,n is: Cm,n = m! / [n! * (m-n)! ]

=>

C5,2 = 5! / [2! (5-3)! ] = 5*4 / 2 = 10

C3,2 = 3! / [2! (3-1! ] = 3

C4,1 = 4! / [1!(4-1)!] = 4

=> 10*3*4 = 120 different starting lineups without x

2) Lineups with x as guard

You only need to pick one more guard

number of guards to pick: 1 of 5 => C5,1
number of forwards to pick: 2 of 3 => C3,2
number of centers to pick: 4 => 1 of 4 => C4,1

Number of possible combinations: C5,1 * C3,2 * C4,1 = 5 * 3 * 4 = 60

3) Lineups with x as a forward,

You only need to pick one more forward:

Number of guards to pick: 2 of 5 => C5,2
Number of forwards to pick: 1 of 3 => C3,1
Number of centers to pick: 1 of 4 => C4,1

.Number of possible combinations: C5,2 * C3,1 * C4,1 = 10 * 3 * 4 = 120

4) Total number of different lineups:

Number of lineups without x + number of lineups with x as guard + number of lineups with x as forward = 120 + 60 + 120 = 300
