Given:
A musician plans to perform 5 selections.
To find the total number of possible ways he can arrange the musical selections:
At the first time, there are 5 possibilities to make the musical selections.
At the second time, there will be 4 possibilities to make the musical selections.
At the third time, there will be 3 possibilities to make the musical selections.
At the fourth time, there will be 2 possibilities to make the musical selections.
At the fifth time, there will be 1 possibility to make the musical selections.
So, we have,
![\begin{gathered} ^5C_1*^4C_1*^3C_1*^2C_1*^1C_1=5*4*3*2*1 \\ =120\text{ ways} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/8t6nqlunqs0xmibe7ya8lpvq1hqhuoq0iy.png)
Hence, the answer is 120 ways.
