Answer: 8648640 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of positions = 7
Number of eligible candidates = 13
This can be done by solving the question using the combination Formula for selection in which we use the combination formula to choose 7 candidates amomg the possible 13.
The combination Formula is denoted as:
nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!
Where n = total number of possible options.
r = number of options to be selected.
Hence, selecting 7 candidates from 13 becomes:
13C7 = 13! / (13-7)! * 7!
13C7 = 1716.
Considering the order they can come in, they can come in 7! Orders. We multiply this order by the earlier answer we calculated. This give: 1716 * 7! = 8648640
