Question

2. Find the number of ways eight people can be seated in an eight-passenger van.

Hii can someone help with this please and thank you

Answer 1

There are 8! (8 factorial) ways for 8 people to be seated in an 8-passenger van. This is because there are 8 choices for the first person to sit, 7 choices for the second person, 6 choices for the third person, and so on, until there is only 1 choice for the last person. Therefore, the total number of ways for the 8 people to be seated is 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 8!, which is equal to 40,320.
