Ten people in our class want to run for 5 different class officers. Officer positions are very different so order matters. How many different groups of class officers can be elected?
------------------
# of groups of 5 = 10C5= 252
# ways the members of a group can be assigned class offices = 5!= 120
=====================
Total number = 10C5 * 5! = 30240
==================================
