Choose the appropriate counting technique and answer the question. Your personal trainer is trying to design a work out for you. There are 20 possible exercises to choose from and they want you to do 4 each day, but you know that there would be a huge difference what order you had to do them in. How many possible work outs could your trainer design?
For day 1:
Number of ways of selecting 4 works for day 1 is C(20,4). Then number of possible order of workouts is 4!. So possible order of work out for day 1 is

For day 2:
Number of ways of selecting 4 works for day 2 is C(16,4). Then number of possible order of workouts is 4!. So possible order of work out for day 2 is
C(16,4) * 4!

So required possible order of work out is
