decide if the situation involves permutations, or combinations. explain the reasoning.

The number of ways a jury of 12 can be selected from a pool of 20.                           Combinations

the number of ways 6 friends can be seated in a row.                                         Permutations.

how many different permutations of the letters in the word STATISTICS are there?             Permutations.

how many ways can two Republicans, one Democrat, and one Independent be chosen from nine Republicans, 
five Democrats, and two Independents to fill four positions on city council?                 Combinations.

It is only PARTIAL solution.
I did not explain reasoning.

I thought that if I do everything for you, then what YOU will do?
