Assigned seating forever! Ms. Clore has 28 desks in
her classroom. She numbers the desks from 1 to 28.
On the first day of class, Ms. Clore places identical
slips of paper numbered 1 to 28 in a hat. Each of the
28 students in her statistics class draws a slip from the
hat upon entering the classroom to determine his or
her assigned seat. How many possible seating assign-
ments are there?

Respuesta :

Using the arrangement formula, it is found that there are [tex]28! = 3.05 \times 10^{29}[/tex] possible seating arrangements.

The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the arrangement formula, as follows:

[tex]A_n = n![/tex]

  • It is used when n elements are arranged in n positions.

In this problem, 28 students are arranged on 28 desks, hence [tex]n = 28[/tex], and:

[tex]A_{28} = 28! = 3.05 \times 10^{29}[/tex]

Hence, there are [tex]28! = 3.05 \times 10^{29}[/tex] possible seating arrangements.
