I have found a great practice site for NJ ask online. Only problem, there are no answers! I am confused on this one... I think the answer might be 25 (5*5=25) But I'm not sure. Please explain. :) thx!
Ashley’s basketball coach uses the same five players to start each game. Show how many ways Ashley’s coach can arrange the starting lineup, using the counting principle.

This is a statistics question:

You would use 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

So there is 120 ways

This basically means that

Player 1 could be arranged in 5 spots (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th)
Player 2 could be arranged in 4 spots
Player 3 could be arranged in 3 spots
Player 4 could be arranged in 2 spots
Player 5 could be arranged in 1 spot

The principle behind this that as you move player 1, then the other players are in different spots as well and we only want to count a players spot ONCE.
