After all students have left the classroom, a statistics professor notices that four copies of the text were left under desks. A
t the beginning of the next lecture, the professor distributes the four books in a completely random fashion to each of the four students (1, 2, 3, and 4) who claim to have left books. One possible outcome is that 1 receives 2's book, 2 receives 4's book, 3 receives his or her own book, and 4 receives 1's book. This outcome can be abbreviated as (2, 4, 3, 1).
List the 23 other possible outcomes.
