How many ways can a committee of 4 people be chosen from 10 people?
Either 5040 or 210, depending on a whether order is important. Keep reading.Four slots. First slot: 10 people to choose from 2nd slot: 9 people left (1 is already chosen) 3rd: 8 4th: 710*9*8*7=5040, assuming, of course, the people are chosen randomly and no one person can be on the committee twice.But then we need to adjust this figure because there will be some duplication, since if Ben, George, Sue, and Jill are chosen for example, there are different ways that they can be chosen and all four of these same people are still on the committee. This is much like when Lotto balls are draw - you don't really care what order the balls are drawn as long as you match them up. So the number of ways that 4 people can be arranged in 4 positions is 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24. So dividing 5040 by 24 will give you the number of possible committee selections, assuming that it doesn't matter which order they are chosen.

How many ways can 4 people be chosen from a group of 9. tell whether the situation is a permutation or combination then solve?
This situation is a combination, since from a group of 9 people, 4 are chosen and the order in which they are chosen is not important. So we have9C4 = (9 x 8 x 7 x 6 )/(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 126.The following explanation will tell you why we got this result.The first person can be any one of 9.The second person can be any one of the remaining 8.The third person can be any one of the remaining 7.The fourth person can be any one of the remaining 6.The number of ways to make this choice of 4 people is (9 x 8 x 7 x 6) = 3,024.This is a permutation, and that's what the question asked for when it asked ... "How many ways ... ".But not all of the groups chosen in these 3,024 ways are different groups. In fact, each differentgroup will show up 24 times, because 4 people can be arranged (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 24 ways.So the number of combinations, i.e. different groups of 4 people, is (3,024 / 24) = 126.
