Question

What is the number of ways to arrange 5 objects from a set of 8 different objects?

Answer 1

Answer:

6,720 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the problem arrangemnt is being asked this is a problem of permutation.

No . of ways of arranging r things out of n things is given by

P(n,r) =   n!/(n-r)!

In the problem given we have to arrange 5 objects from set of 8 objects.

Here n = 8 and p = 5

it can be done in in

P(8,5) =   8!/(8-5)! ways

8!/(8-5)!  = 8!/3! = 8*7*6*5*4*3!/3! = 8*7*6*5*4 = 6,720

Thus,  number of ways to  arrange 5 objects from a set of 8

different objects is P(8,5) =   8!/(8-5)! =  6,720 .
