Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
This problem is simple but for some reason I'm stuck...so I guess not easy after all (for me)
We've only practiced with questions that ask a certain a certain combination from a set amount n. The contraints on the last part of that question confuse me, how do we ensure that each amount of those are selected?
Am I just over-reading the question? Is it just as simple as 20C11 on the calculator?
