Answer:
3,360
Step-by-step explanation:
We calculate the number of permutations for this problem where the order in which we accommodate people matters to us as follows:
[tex]P=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]
where n is the total number of options we have; the total number of members: [tex]n=16[/tex]
and r is the number of places or positions we are considering which in this case are the President position, the Vice president position and the treasurer position ⇒ 3 positions in total ⇒ [tex]r=3[/tex]
substituting n and r in the formula:
[tex]P=\frac{16!}{(16-3)!} \\\\P=\frac{16!}{13!} \\\\P=3,360[/tex]
A president, a Vice President, and a treasurer can be selected from the members in 3,360 ways
