permutations of 4 of ten (if the order of the 4 on the sheet matters)
n!/(n-r)! = 10!/6! =10*9*8*7 = 5040
Now if all you care about is the different groups of 4 and not what order on the sheet, you want the combinations of 4 of ten
n!/[r!(n-r)!] = permutations/r!
=5040 /4*3*2 = 210
students are given a list of 10 vocbulary words to learn. in how many ways could four of the wwords be listed on the test? if wrong give correct answers please my answer is 3780.
