Complete Question:

The drama club is holding auditions for five different parts in a one act play. If 9 people audition, how many ways can the roles be assigned?

a. 362,880

b. 15,120

c. 126

d. 120

b. 15,120

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to solve the question above, we would use the formula for permutation.

This is because when assigning 5 DIFFERENT roles to 9 people, the order of assigning the roles is important. The formula for permutation, is used when order is involved.

Permutation (n, r) = nPr = n!/(n - r)!

In the above question,

n = 9 people

r = 5 different parts

9P5 = 9!/(9 - 5)!

= 9!/4! = 9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/ 4×3×2×1

= 362880/ 24

= 15,120

Therefore, the number of ways that the roles can be assigned is 15,120 ways
