Answer

$_{30}C_4=27,405$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: $_nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ Use this definition to have: $\require{cancel} _{30}C_4=\dfrac{30!}{4!(30-4)!} \\_{30}C_4=\dfrac{30!}{4!(26!)} \\_{30}C_4 = \dfrac{30(29)(28)(27)(26!)}{24(26!)} \\_{30}C_4 = \dfrac{30(29)(28)(27))\cancel{(26!)}}{24\cancel{26!}} \\_{30}C_4 =\dfrac{30(29)\cancel{(28)}7(27)}{\cancel{24}6} \\_{30}C_4 =\dfrac{5\cancel{30}(29)(7)(27)}{\cancel{6}} \\_{30}C_4=27,405$
