intern will give a situation
on problems involving
permutations or
combinations. The student
will have a freedom in
explaining their side or

Situation: You wantto secure
your travel bag with a
“combination” lock that has a 4-
digit code and you want to put
in a code that has no repeated
numbers. Which counting
technique is involved in the
problem, permutations or
combinations? Explain your
reasoning.
“Life is fullof permutations and
combinations. Sometimes the order
you do things matter sometimes it
doesn’t, but in order to find the
solution in life you must work through
each possibility presented to find your
opportunity.”
