Am I correct with this answer?

Question

Ok, the question is,

A coach has 20 players. How many ways can the coach select 5 players to start the game?(assuming that any player can play any position)

I did this to solve the answer . am I correct?

20 X 4 X 3 X 2 X1=240

(X is multiplication)

Answer 1

Not quite.

You're right that he has 20 people to choose from for the first person. But after he's picked the first person, how many does he have left to choose from for the second position? And then the third, fourth and fifth? Multiply them all together to get the answer.

I'll bet you see the answer now.
