Answer:

Combination

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) The difference between combinations and permutations is the ordering of each term.

Combinations - the order doesn't matter

Permutations - the order matters.

An example of this is, if you enter the number combination 5324 into your locker/cabinet, it won't open up because it is a different ordering and needs a specific combination which means it's permutation.  

2) In this situation, the order doesn't not matter since they just want different ways to select an assistant, a representative, a treasurer, and a recorder.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer: Permutation Problem

There are 5040 permutations possible

==================================================

Explanation:

Order matters because the positions are different.

(A,B,C,D) is different from (B,A,C,D) because the first means person A is the assistant while the second means person B is the assistant.

We have 10 choices for the first slot, 9 for the second, 8 for the third, and 7 for the fourth. We count down the values because a person cannot be reselected to serve multiple positions simultaneously.

Multiply out those values to get 10*9*8*7 = 5040

There are 5040 permutations possible.

---------------

As an alternative, you can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 10 and r = 4 like so

_n P_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10!}{(10-4)!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10!}{6!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = \frac{10*9*8*7*6!}{6!}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = 10*9*8*7 \ \ \text{ ... note how this shows up again}\\\\_{10} P_{4} = 5040\\\\

We get the same answer as before.

Answer:

55 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of Lot X

67 • 70 = 4,690

Subtract the are of Lot X from the total area

8,375 - 4,690 = 3,685

3,685 is the area of Lot Y

Now divide 3,685 by the length of Lot Y : 67

3,685 ÷ 67 = 55

The width of Lot Y is 55 ft.

Hope this helps!
