    Let's make clear the question, because it may be confusing:

    "A health inspector must visit 4 of 14 restaurants on Monday. In how many ways can she pick a first, second, third, and fourth restaurant to visit?"

    In order to solve the problem, you need to use permutations: you have 14 possible restaurants to choose as first, the second one will be chosen among the 13 restaurants left, the third one among the remaining 12 and the fourth one will be one of the remaining 11.

    Therefore, the total number of possibilities is:

    14 * 13 * 12 * 11 = 24024

    There are 24024 possible ways to choose the four restaurants to visit.
