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 or (b) we consider them to be indistinguishable (see Exercise Exercise for this case). For each case, calculate the probability that all the passengers get off at different floors.
