if the order in your selection matters, then it is a permutation.
so, in a car race, does it matter if you come in first or second?
does it matter in which order you take the apples out of the bag?
does it matter who gets chosen first or third or last among the 6 committee members?
Which of the following represents a permutation? (Pick from multiple choice answer listed below)
I. The top 4 finishers in a car race
II. Choosing 4 apples from a bag with 10 apples
III. A committee of 6 representatives from a class
A. I. only
B. II. only
C. III. only
D. II. and III. only
Please help!!
Thank you.

Is this answer right or wrong?
Please help!!
