It will be so nice if you would answerrrrrr
There are 15 members of the show choir. In how many different ways can you arrange any 8 members in the front row?
To find the number of ways to arrange 4 members in the front row, we can use the concept of permutations.
The number of permutations of selecting r objects from a set of n objects is given by the formula nPr = n! / (n-r)!.
In this case, we have 15 members in the show choir, and we want to arrange 4 members in the front row. So the formula becomes 15P4 = 15! / (15-4)!.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Calculate the factorial of 15: 15! = 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1.
2. Calculate the factorial of (15-4): (15-4)! = 11!.
3. Divide the factorial of 15 by the factorial of (15-4): 15! / (15-4)! = (15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / (11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1).
Now, let's simplify the expression:
(15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / (11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 15 x 14 x 13 x 12.
So there are 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 = 32,760 ways to arrange 4 members in the front row of the show choir.
