Answer:

24024 are the total number of ways of choosing 4 campsites out of 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are a total of 14 campsite out of which 4 campsites are to be chosen.

It is a simple example of selection problem.

Number of ways to choose the first campsite = 14

Now, one campsite is chosen, 13 campsites are left.

Therefore,

Number of ways to choose the second campsite = 13

Now, one more campsite is chosen, 12 campsites are left.

Therefore,

Number of ways to choose the third campsite = 12

Now, one more campsite is chosen, 11 campsites are left.

Therefore,

Number of ways to choose the fourth campsite = 11

So, total number of ways for choosing 4 campsites out of 14:

14 [tex]\times[/tex] 13 [tex]\times[/tex] 12 [tex]\times[/tex] 11 = 24024

Hence, answer is 24024.
