Identify the problem as a permutation problem where Emily needs to select and arrange 6 shirts out of 15.
Use the permutation formula, which is given by: P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)! where n is the total number of items to choose from, and r is the number of items to arrange.
Substitute the values into the formula: n = 15 and r = 6, so the formula becomes: P(15, 6) = 15! / (15 - 6)!.
Calculate the factorials: 15! and 9! (since 15 - 6 = 9). Factorials are calculated by multiplying all positive integers up to that number.
Divide 15! by 9! to find the number of ways Emily can arrange 6 shirts out of 15.
