Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of different subcommittees can be calculated using combinations, where order does not matter. The formula for combinations is C(n, k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!), where n is the total number of items to choose from, and k is the number of items to choose. Here, n = 8 and k = 6, so C(8, 6) = 8! / (6!2!) = 28.
