Answer:

230,300 different selections.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the order does not matter, the number of possible different selections is determined as the combination of choosing four numbers out of 50:

[tex]n=\frac{50!}{(50-4)!4!}\\\\n=\frac{50*49*48*47}{4*3*2*1} \\\\n=230,300\ combinations[/tex]

There are 230,300 possible different selections.
