Question

There are six wires which need to be attached to a circuit board. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can be attached in any order, and the production manager wishes to determine which order would be fastest for the robot to use. Use the multiplication rule of counting to determine the number of possible sequences of assembly that must be tested. (Hint: There are six choices for the first wire, five for the second wire, four for the third wire, etc.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$S=720$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Six wire are attached to a circuit board

Generally using multiplication rule

Let number of possible sequence be given as S

Mathematically  

$S=6! =6*5*4*3*2*1=720$

Therefore

Number of possible sequence $S=720$
