Question

There is a test with 10 questions. Each question has a choice of three answers, but only one answer is correct. How many ways are there to fill out the test?

By the way, we are learning combinations and permutations

3 choices for each of 10 questions is clearly 3^10

Naturally, there is only 1 way of getting all the answers right.

If, however, you want to know the order of questions to answer, then there are 10! ways to select the questions.

Rather a poorly worded question.
