There are 15 candidates for 4 job positions. What is the total number of outcomes possible?
N

32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Candidates = 15

Job Positions = 4

Required:

Number of outcomes

This question represent selection; i.e. selecting candidates for job positions;

This question can be solved in any of the following two ways

Method 1.

The first candidate can be chosen from any of the 15 candidates

The second candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 14 candidates

The third candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 13 candidates

The fourth candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 12 candidates

Total Possible Selection = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12

Total Possible Selection = 32760 ways

Method 2:

This can be solved using permutation method which goes thus;

Where n = 15 and r = 4

So;

becomes

Hence, there are 32760 ways

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c

step-by-step explanation:

my explanation is that these were the answers on edg : )

convert the answer to millimeters there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch and 12 inches in a foot so just divide the 5280 feet into a fraction of the numbers till you get to the simplest form you need so (5280 x 12=63360 inches) (63360 x 25.4=1609344 millimeters) (5280/12=440 feet) its as simple as that just break it down to it's simplest form.
