Answer :
Let's analyze each situation to determine whether it describes a permutation or a combination:
### Situation 1
The Junior class elects 3 representatives to the student council.
In this situation, the order in which the representatives are chosen does not matter. We are only interested in choosing a group of 3 representatives out of the whole class. This is an example of a combination.
### Situation 2
The swim team must choose a captain and co-captain.
Here, the order of selection matters because the role of captain is different from the role of co-captain. This means we need to consider the different possible ways to assign these roles. This is an example of a permutation.
### Situation 3
A sandwich made with 3 of the 25 available toppings.
For the sandwich, the order in which the 3 toppings are chosen does not matter. We only care about which 3 toppings are selected out of the 25 available. This is an example of a combination.
### Situation 4
A locker has a 5-digit code that must be entered to open it.
For the locker code, the order of the digits is crucial because the code must be entered in a specific sequence to unlock the locker. This means we need to consider the different possible sequences of the 5 digits. This is an example of a permutation.
### Summary
1. The Junior class elects 3 representatives to the student council: Combination
2. The swim team must choose a captain and co-captain: Permutation
3. A sandwich made with 3 of the 25 available toppings: Combination
4. A locker has a 5-digit code that must be entered to open it: Permutation
Now filling these into the table:
