Question 626154: Which of the following does not represent the number of ways a president, vice president, and secretary can be chosen from a group of 5 people?
A.P(3,5)
B.5*4*3
C.P(5,3)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since P(5,3) = 5*4*3 and they both represent how to choose 3 people from a pool of 5 (where order matters), this means that choices B and C have been eliminated.
So the answer is choice A
