Answer:
1. 19C8 = 75582
2. 19P8= 3047466240
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the number of ways to get 8 sticks from 19. At first, you have 19 choices, then 18, then 17, all the way to 12. Giving you 19*18*17*...*13*12, or 19!/11!.
Combination:
When order doesn't matter, you have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, or 19!/11!/8!=19C8=75582
Permutation:
When order doesn't matter, you don't have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, since you count each of these, and 19!/11!=19P8=3047466240.
