What is combination?
'In mathematics, a combination is a way of selecting items from a collection where the order of selection does not matter.'
According to the given problem,
Number of players = 10
Number of people to be selected = 3
We know,
[tex]^{n}C_{r}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex] where, n = Total number of players
r = Number of players to be selected
Number of ways to select 3 people out of 10 = [tex]^{10} C_{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10!}{3!*7!}[/tex]
= 120 ways
Hence, we can conclude, the coach can select 3 people out of 10 in 120 ways.
