Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

A pianist plans to play 6 pieces at a recital from her repertoire of 21 pieces.

We need to determine how many different recital programs are possible.

Concept:

Here the order of the songs being played is carefully considered in order to ensure a good flow. So we use the concept of Permutation for determining the number of recital programs possible.

The formula for computing permutation is given by;

P(n,r)=n!(n-r)!

The above formula calculates number of permutations of n things taken r at a time.
