The number of ways men can be selected from the team of 18 is 48,620ways
Permutation has to do with arrangement while combination has to do with selection.
If a baseball team consists of 18 players and 9 man are possible in the team, the number of ways the men can be chosen is calculated using the combination formula below;
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
Given the following
n =18
r = 9
Substitute
18C9 = 18!/(18-9)!9!
18C9 = 18!/9!9!
18C9 = 48,620
Hence the number of ways men can be selected from the team of 18 is 48,620ways
