Problem 1
It's the beginning of the school year and the student government needs to select a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. How many possible ways are there to fill these positions if there are 12 candidates?
Suppose on the other hand, that the student government wants a committee of size 4 (order doesn't matter). How many different committees can be formed if there are still 12 candidates?
