Answer 2

To find the number of ways the student can select 4 writing implements from a total of 10, we use the formula for combinations: n! / (r!(n-r)!). The result is 210.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of ways the student can select 4 writing implements, we need to use the concept of combinations. The formula to calculate combinations is n! / (r!(n-r)!), where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items to be selected. In this case, there are 10 writing implements and the student wants to select 4, so we have 10! / (4!(10-4)!) = 10! / (4!6!) = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 / 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 210. Therefore, the answer is not provided among the given options.
