Problem

Ms. Hamilton’s eighth-grade class wants to participate in the annual three-person-team basketball tournament.

Lance, Sally, Joy, and Fred are chosen for the team. In how many ways can the three starters be chosen?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 10$

Solution

There are $\binom{4}{3}$ ways to choose three starters. Thus the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 4}$.
