Three members of a club will be selected to serve as officers. The first person selected will be president, the second person will be vice-president and the third will be secretary/treasurer. How many ways can these officers be selected if there are 30 club members?
---
# of ways to select a president: 30
# of ways to select a vp: 29
# of ways to select sec/tres: 28
-----
Totoal # of choices: 30*29*28 = 24360
---
This is the same as 30P3 = 30!/(30-3)! = 30*29*28
You are choosing 3 from 30 and order makes a difference.
