An elevator takes on six passengers and stops at ten floors. We can assign two different equiprobable measures for the ways that the passengers are discharged:

(a) we consider the passengers to be distinguishable
(b) we consider them to be indistinguishable

For each case, calculate the probability that all the passengers get off at different floors.
