Respuesta :

Answer:

The assignment can be made in 630,630 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrangement formula:

We want to arrange n people into x roles.

[tex]m_{0}[/tex] is the number of people for the first role.

[tex]m_{1}[/tex] is the number of people for the second role.

[tex]m_{x}[/tex] is the number of people for the xth role.

The total number of arrangents is:

[tex]T = \frac{n!}{m_{0}!m_{1}!...m_{x}!}[/tex]

In this question:

15 employees

6 to the day shift.

4 to the night shift.

5 to the graveyard shift.

In how many ways can the assignment be made?

[tex]T = \frac{15!}{6!4!5!} = 630630[/tex]

The assignment can be made in 630,630 ways.
