How many ways are there to choose exactly (4) sweets from (9) sweets?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (126)

When exactly 4 sweets are chosen from 9 distinct sweets, order does not matter. Selecting sweets A, B, C, D is the same selection as D, C, B, A. Therefore this is a combination problem, represented by \(\binom{9}{4}\), rather than a permutation. The word “exactly” means that the selection must contain four sweets, not any number up to four.

Using the formula, \(\binom{9}{4}=\frac{9!}{4!5!}\). Cancelling gives \(\frac{9\times8\times7\times6}{4\times3\times2\times1}=126\). Thus the number of selections is 126, so option D is correct. Multiplying in different orders would overcount every group, which is why permutations are not used here.
