Zelma is having a luncheon for herself and nine of the women in her tennis league. On the morning of the luncheon she places name cards at the ten places at her table and then leaves to run a last-minute errand. Her husband, Herbert, comes home from his morning tennis match and unfortunately leaves the back door open. A gust of wind scatters the ten name cards. In how many ways can Herbert replace the ten cards at the places at the table so that exactly four of the ten women will be seated where Zelma had wanted them? In how many ways will at least four of them be seated where they were supposed to be?
