Answer: There are 20 different ways to select two speakers.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of choices for speakers = 5

Ben, Will, Stewart, Hilary, and Kate.

We need to find the number of different ways to select the two speakers among them.

We will use "Fundamental theorem of Counting":

So, Number of different ways would be


5* 4\\\\=20

Hence, there are 20 different ways to select two speakers.
