Question 59433This question is from textbook elementary statistics
: An election committee of three men and four women has been formed to elect a local representative. Each of the seven members must be assigned to investigate one of seven different candidates. How many different ways can those assignments be made?
so do I just plug 4 into the combination formula and then 3, which both give me 35, and then multiply 35*35? do I have todivide that answer into 49 which is the 7 times 7? I am confused. This question is from textbook elementary statistics

The combination formula needs two values. You can't plug in 4 and say that it gives 35, because you need the other value. Moreover, combinations represent unordered outcomes, and since which person is assigned to which candidate matters, you can't use that formula.
