A
club has 30 members and they need to elect 5 officers, the President, V-Pres., the secretary, the treasurer and the historian.
Find how can this be done?
Now, let’s try to solve by finding the possible ways to make this election.
30 People is to 5 = 30P5
=> 30! / (30 - 5)!
=> 30! / 25
=> 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 x 26
=> 17 100 720
Thus, the answer is 17 100 720
17,100,720 ;
The club can select five officers from its 30 members in 14,250,600 different ways. This is determined by using the formula for permutations. The calculation is based on selecting unique individuals for each office from the available members.
