If you calculate the number of different ways five of the 31 students could be chosen to put problems 1,2,3,4,and 5 on the board, is this a number of combinations or a number of permutations?
At first I thought it was a number of permutations because order in which the numbers are arranged matters, but then I thought it was a combination because they are only using 5 of the 31 students. Which is right?
