Can you please help me how to approach this problem? I know i have to use either nPr or nCk to figure this out but have no clue. Please help.

The question is:
The American Ballet Repertory Company will choose 4 new corps members from its apprentice program. The apprentice program is made up of 6 women and 6 men. If 3 women and 1 man are to be chosen for the corps, how many different groupings are possible?

The word choose generally means (and in this case it does) that the order does not matter.
