Answer:

In 517 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 6 people in ballot and voters can vote for any 4 we have following choices

Voter may not vote for anyone then[tex]^6P_0[/tex]

Since, [tex]^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]  and  [tex]n!=n(n-1)....1[/tex]

Here, n=6 and r=0 we will get

[tex]^6P_0=\frac{6!}{(6-0)!}=\frac{6!}{6!}=1[/tex]


Voter may not vote for one of them  then  [tex]^6P_1[/tex]

[tex]^6P_1=\frac{6!}{(6-1)!}=\frac{6!}{5!}=6[/tex]


Voter may not vote for two of them  then  [tex]^6P_2[/tex]

[tex]^6P_2=\frac{6!}{(6-2)!}=\frac{6!}{4!}=30[/tex]


Voter may not vote for three of them  then  [tex]^6P_3[/tex]

[tex]^6P_3=\frac{6!}{(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3!}=120[/tex]


Voter may not vote for four of them  then  [tex]^6P_4[/tex]

[tex]^6P_4=\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}=\frac{6!}{2!}=360[/tex]

Total ways in which a person can vote is

[tex]^6P_0[/tex]+ [tex]^6P_1[/tex]+ [tex]^6P_2[/tex]+ [tex]^6P_3[/tex]+ [tex]^6P_4[/tex]

Substituting the values we will get

[tex]1+6+30+120+360=517[/text]  ways.

Answer:

In 360 different ways can a person vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total numbers of vote one can cast = 4

Number of individuals in ballot = 6

Number of distinct ways are there to form the teams for the class:

[tex]P^{n}_{k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}[/tex]

where = n = number of elements  = n = 6

k = number of elements choose = 4

[tex]P^{6}_{4}=\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}=360[/tex]

In 360 different ways can a person vote.
