### Instruction: Our school's girls volleyball team has 14 players, including a set of 3 triplets: Alicia, Amanda, and Anna.  In how many ways can we choose 6 starters with no restrictions? (The triplets are treated as distinguishable.).### Response: This is a problem of counting combinations, since the order of the starters does not matter.
I can use the formula for the number of ways to choose r objects from n objects, which is nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!), where ! means factorial.
In this case, n = 14, the total number of players, and r = 6, the number of starters.
