A mathematics journal has accepted 14 articles for publication. However, due to budgetary restraints only 7 articles can be published this month. How many specific ways can the journal editor assemble 7 of the 14 articles for publication?
The total number of articles is 14 and only 7 can be published. Since what is asked is the ways to assemble the 7 articles, this is a permutation problem.
14P7 = 17297280 ways
If order is not of concern, the problem is just a combination problem
14C7 = 3432 ways
Answer:
17,297,280
