Identify Problem: Identify the problem.We need to find the number of different arrangements for 5 students standing in line. This is a permutation problem where order matters.
Determine Formula: Determine the formula to use.The number of ways to arrange n distinct objects in a sequence is given by n factorial, denoted as n!.
Apply Formula: Apply the formula to the given problem.Since there are 5 students, we need to calculate 5! (5 factorial).5!=5×4×3×2×1
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation. 5!=5×4×3×2×1=120
Conclude Answer: Conclude with the final answer.There are 120 different ways the five students can stand in line.
