There are five wires which need to be attached to a circuit board. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can be atta
ched 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 five choices for the first wire, four for the second wire, three for the third wire, etc.)
