There are three nursing positions to be filled at Lilly Hospital. Position 1 is the day nursing supervisor; position 2 is the night nursing supervisor; and position 3 is the nursing coordinator position. There are 13 candidates qualified for all three of the positions. Determine the number of different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants.

There are 1716 ways the three positions can be filled by these applicants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is the number of arrangement of k items from n distinct items.

For example, permutation can be used to compute the number of ways to arrange 4 mathematics books together when arranging all the 7 books on a shelf.

In this case there are 3 available nursing positions to be filled.

A total of 13 candidates are qualified for all the three positions.

Then the number of ways the 3 positions can be filled by the 13 candidates can be determine using permutation.

Compute the possible number of selections as follows:

Thus, there are 1716 ways the three positions can be filled by these applicants.
