The required number of pairs possible for officers is 10.
Given that,
In the student council election, Dean, Janis, Aisha, Tyler, and Natasha are running for president. Kari and Sam are running for Vice President.
How many different officer pairs are possible is to be determined.
In arithmetic, combination and permutation are two different ways of grouping elements of a set into subsets. In a combination, the components of the subset can be recorded in any order. In a permutation, the components of the subset are listed in a distinctive order.
Here,
Dean, Janis, Aisha, Tyler, and Natasha are running for president
For the president number of contenders = 5
Kari and Sam are running for Vice
Contenders for vice presidents = 2
Number of ways possible for pair possible for officers = 5 * 2
= 10
Thus, the required number of pairs possible for officers is 10.
