Because there are four subjects, you have fo r choces for frst perod, three choces for second perod, two c oces for thrd perod, and one choce for fourth erod. So, there are 4! dfferent ermutatons of subjects. Because there s only one way to schedule your classes wth Englsh f st, math second, scence thrd, and hstory fourth, P(E,M, S,H) = ~ = = 0.042. b. There are 4C2 df erent combnatons of 2 subjects. Of these 2C2 contan 2 of your favorte subjects.
