Question 893323: Decide whether you would use a permutation, a combination, or neither. Next, write the solution using permutation notation or combination notation, if possible, and, finally, answer the question.
A club with 28 members is to select five officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and historian). In how many ways can this be done? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20054) (Show Source):
Permutation because the 5 offices form an ordering
1. president
2. vice president
3. secretary
4. treasurer
5. historian
P(28,5) = 28*27*26*25*24 = 11793600
