Question 1027702: From a pool of 25 candidates, the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer must be filled. In how many ways can the offices be filled? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
Since there is a first office (president), a second office
(vice president), a third office (secretary) and a 4th
office (treasurer), order matters, so we use permutations:
25 candidates Position 4 = 25P4 = 25*24*23*22 = 303600
