    Problem 2:

    Use the C(n,k) formula for the ways from n items to pick k of them:

    C(n,k) = n! / ((n-k)! k!)

    From the 5 teachers, pick 2

    C(5,2) = (5 * 4) / (2 * 1) = 10 ways

    From the 6 students, pick 3:

    C(6,3) = (6 * 5 * 4) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 20 ways

    Multiply the two together to get the total ways of picking 2 teachers and 3 students.

    Problem 3:

    Similar to #2, calculate C(14,3)

    C(14,3) = (14 * 13 * 12) / (3 * 2 * 1)

    Problem 4:

    There are 13 cards in each suit (so there are 13 diamonds) out of 52 cards.

    P(diamond) = 13/52

    Reduce the fraction and convert it to a decimal.
