A coordinator will select 7 songs from a list of 13 songs to compose an event's musical entertainment lineup. How many different lineups are possible

Respuesta :

Answer:

8,648,640 different lineups are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the musics are there is important(lineup means that order matters), which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]

How many different lineups are possible?

7 musics from a set of 13. So

[tex]P_{(13,7)} = \frac{13!}{(13-7)!} = \frac{13!}{6!} = 8648640[/tex]

8,648,640 different lineups are possible.
