Answer :
Explanation:
The question requires that we resolve the question using the combination technique
[tex]^8C_5[/tex]The general combination formula is given by
[tex]^pC_r=\frac{p!}{r!(p-r)!}[/tex]Therefore
Applying the formula, we will have
[tex]^8C_5=\frac{8!}{5!\times3!}=\frac{8\times7\times6\times5!}{5!\times3\times2}[/tex]Simplifying further
[tex]\begin{gathered} ^8C_5=8\times7 \\ ^8C_5=56 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is 56
