A college basketball team has 14 women on the roster. In how many ways can the coach choose a lineup featuring five different positions?

Topic: The Fundamental Counting Principle and Permutations

Respuesta :

Since the order of positions matters, use permutation. The formula for permutation is
n!/(n-r)! where n=14 and r=5
This gives 14!/9! = 14*13*12*11*10 = 240,240
