Three out of nine students in the computer club are getting prizes for first, second, and third place in a competition.

how many ways can first, second, and third place be assigned?

There are 504 ways in which first, second, and third place can be assigned.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students in the computer club = 9

Number of students are getting prizes for first, second, third = 3

We need to find the number of ways in which first, second, third place can be assigned .

So, we will use "Permutation" as we need an arrangement:

i.e.

where, n is the number of total students and

r is the number of people in a group.

So,

Hence, there are 504 ways in which first, second, and third place can be assigned.
