From a group of 10 musicians, im going to choose four to form a band. I need to choose a guitar player, a bass player, a drummer, and a cowbell player In how many ways could 1 do this?
There are 10 choices for the guitar player, 9 choices for the bass player (since one person has already been chosen), 8 choices for the drummer, and 7 choices for the cowbell player. Therefore, the total number of ways to choose the band is:
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5,040
There are 5,040 ways to choose a guitar player, a bass player, a drummer, and a cowbell player from a group of 10 musicians.
