Answer: 142506
Step-by-step explanation:
To select a committee we don't require any order , so we use a combination.
The number of combinations of selecting r things out of n things:
[tex]^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]
So, the number of combinations of selecting 5 members out of 30 = [tex]\dfrac{30!}{5!(30-5)!}=\dfrac{30\times29\times28\times27\times26\times25!}{120\times5!}=142506[/tex]
Hence, total number of ways= 142506
