This is a simple choose 4 from 11 problem (combination). Your textbook should have several worked-out example problems. Exactly where are you stuck?

What are your thoughts?

Suppose for a moment that there are 30 different ways of choosing 4 from 11. So what do you now have to do to each of these 30 groups of 4?
