@jim_thompson5910 @ganeshie8 @myininaya @hartnn
more like 3^8 = 6,561 assuming you allow repeated colors
no, order does not matter
sorry, I should have said that earlier
@jim_thompson5910 @hartnn
anyone?
I didn't say anything about order
unless you give the exact wording of the question....... @jim_thompson5910 's answer is probably right.
There are eight team members of a team. How many ways are there to select leader, assistant, and coordinator?
8 choices for slot A 7 choices for slot B 6 choices for slot C as you go from slot A to B to C, you count down by 1 because you can't serve more than one post now you multiply out those choices: 8*7*6 = 336
you could use the permutation formula, but the way described above is more intuitive in my mind
thank you
you're welcome
