Question

HELP PLEASE ITS THE ONLY QUESTION I NEED!!

Answer 1

Because the order doesn't matter on where each person sits use the combinations formula:

C = n! / (r!(n-r)!)

Where n is the total number of people and r is the number of chairs.

C = 6! / (4!(6-4)!)

C = (6*5*4*3*2*1) / ((4*3*2*1(2*1))

C = 720 / (24*2)

C = 720 / 48

C = 15

There are 15 different arrangements.
