Decide if the following problem is an example of a permutation or a combination. State your rationale. For a study, 4 people are chosen at random from a group of 10 people. How many ways can this be done?

The order in which the 4 people are chosen does not matter; only which 4 people are selected matters. That makes this an unordered selection, or a combination. The best answer is “combination - an unordered arrangement of objects.”
