The number of combinations of balloons that can be chosen is 1716.
Selections and combinations are synonyms. Combinations represent the choosing of items from a predetermined group of items. We're not trying to arrange anything here. We're going to pick them.
Utilizing the combinations formula, it is simple to determine how many distinct groups of r objects each may be created from the provided n unique objects.
Number of red balloons = 12
Number of blue balloons = 8
First, we figure out how to choose from 13 red and 9 blue balloons.
There are 7 balloons left out of the 29 total (i.e. 29 - 13 - 9)
So, n = 7+7-1
n = 13
r = 7
Number of combinations of balloons = [tex]_{13} C_{7}[/tex]
= 13!/(13-7)!7!
= 13!/6!7!
= 1716
