Joseph is planning dinners for the next 4 nights. There are 10 meals to choose from. If no meal is repeated, how many different meal arrangements are possible?

Combinations of m elements taken from n to n (m≥n) are called all the possible groupings that can be made with the m elements in such a way that not all the elements enter; the order does not matter and the elements are not repeated.

To calculate the number of combinations, the following formula is applied:

[tex]C=\frac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}[/tex]

The term "n!" is called the "factorial of n" and is the multiplication of all numbers from "n" to 1.

Different meal arrangements

Joseph is planning dinners for the next 4 nights. There are 10 meals to choose from and no meal is repeated.

So, you know that:

m= 10
n= 4

Replacing in the definition of combination:

[tex]C=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]C=\frac{10!}{4!6!}[/tex]

[tex]C=\frac{3,628,800}{24x720}[/tex]

[tex]C=\frac{3,628,800}{17,280}[/tex]

C= 210

Finally, if no meal is repeated, 210 different meal arrangements are possible.
