The number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the procedure to select k items from n distinct items, without replacement, is known as combinations.

The formula to compute the combinations of k items from n is given by the formula:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!\cdot (n-k)!}$

Compute the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 as follows:

${101\choose 37}=\frac{101!}{37!\cdot (101-37)!}$

$=\frac{101!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=\frac{101\times 100\times 99\times....64!}{37!\times 64!}\\\\=5397234129638871133346507775$

Thus, the number of ways to select 37 people from 101 is, 5,397,234,129,638,871,133,346,507,775.
