Given:
Total members in the committee = 19
Let's find the number of ways a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer can be chosen.
Here, we are to use permutation formula:
[tex]^nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]Where:
n = 19
r = 4
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} ^{19}P_4=\frac{19!}{(19-4)!} \\ \\ ^{19}P_4=\frac{19!}{(15)!} \\ \\ =\frac{19*18*17*16*15!}{15!} \\ \\ =19*18*17*16 \\ \\ =93024 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving further:
Therefore, the number of ways they can be chosen is 93024 ways.
ANSWER:
93024 ways
