In A Premier League there are 20 soccer teams.

(a)In One Round How Many Games Are There?

20 choose 2 = 20C2 = 190

(b) If five of the teams represent one company, find the

number of ways pairs of teams representing different companies

can play the game.

So there are 4 companies, each having 5 teams.

4 companies choose 2 = 4C2 = 6 ways

Choose a team of the company that's, say, been in business the

longest.

5 teams choose 1 = 5C1 = 5 ways

Choose a team of the other company,

5 teams choose 1 = 5C1 = 5 ways

Answer 6*5*5 = 150 ways.

is only a line? i think so
