Answer:
the expression is: [tex]^{15}P_3=\frac{15!}{(15-3)!}[/tex]
and 2730 different ways are possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given question we have to choose a president, vice
president, and secretary.
Permutations are used when order is important so, as in the given question order is required. We would use permutations
The formula used is: [tex]^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex] where:
n=total number of objects
r=number of objects selected
In our case: n=15, r=3
Putting values and finding the answer:
[tex]^nP_r\\^{15}P_3=\frac{15!}{(15-3)!} =2730 \ ways[/tex]
So, the expression is: [tex]^{15}P_3=\frac{15!}{(15-3)!}[/tex]
and 2730 different ways are possible.
