HI.

I am a little confused about this problem. Can some help me please?.

There are twenty stores for a grocery chain in the Mid-Atlantic region. The regional executive wants to visit five of the twenty stores. She asks her assistant to choose five stores and arrange the visit schedule. (Show all work. Just the answer, without supporting work, will receive no credit).

(a) Does the order matter in the scheduling? (b) Based on your answer to part (a), should you use permutation or combination to find the different schedules that the assistant may arrange? (c) How many different schedules can the assistant recommend?
