To form a team of 10 people from 20 attendees, where 4 people refuse to join and 6 specific people must be included, we start by selecting the required members.
Since 6 particular people must be on the team, that leaves us needing 4 more members.
With the 4 people refusing to join, we only have 16 potential candidates left (20 total minus the 4 refusals).
From these 16 people, we need to choose 4 to complete the team.
Using combinations,
The number of ways to choose 4 people from 16 is calculated as 210. Thus, the answer is 210.
