Question 55190: There are seven different tests being performed�t-1, t-2 and so on. Each test can have only one result out of x number of possibilities but the number of possible results is different for each of the seven tests. E.g. let's say t-1 will have result only one out of 26 different possible results, t-2 will have only one result out of 32 different possible results, etc. The result of each test must be recorded in their numerical order as they are done. I.e. the first test is done and its result is recored first, the second test's result is determined and recorded second and so on.
How would one state the formula for determining the theoretical total number of possible test result combinations from the seven tests when recorded in consecutive order t-1 through t-7? This appears to require a comination of permutations and combinations that have got me confused. I didn't see anything like this on the data base, so I am submitting this to the experts. Thanks for your help.

There is only one way to record the seven scores if they are to
be recorded in the order in which they occur.
Are you sure that is the whole problem?
