Our school's girls volleyball team has 14 players, including a set of 3 triplets: Alicia, Amanda, and Anna. In how many ways can we choose 6 starters if exactly one of the triplets is in the starting lineup?

We can choose 1 of the 3 triplets and from the other 11 players, any 5 of them.

So......C(3,1) * C(11,5)  = 1386 different teams...
