Question 187897: Please Help!
I need help in solving this word problem. The members of the Student Activity Council on your campus are meeting to select two speakers for a month long event exploring why some people are most likely to succeed. The choices are Bill Clinton, Sean Combs, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, and Tiger Woods. How many different ways can the two speakers be selected? Someone, please help. I am lost with this one. I would really appreciate it.

Thr first speakers is selected from 5. The second is selected from 4.
5*4=20 ways 2 speakers can be chosen from 5 candidates.
