Answer:

a. 5,040 ways

b. 210 ways

Explanation:

a) We want to pick 4 numbers out of 10 given that orders matter

If orders do matter, it will be a permutation problem

Mathematically;

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

In this case, n is 10 and r is 4

Thus, we have it that;

10 P 4 = 10!/(10-4)! = 5,040

b) if orders do not matter

It will be a combination problem

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

n = 10 and r = 4

10 C 4 = 10! /(10-4)!4!

= 210
