Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutation looks like this for that set of data:

[tex]_{10}P_{3}[/tex]

and the formula to solve it like this:

[tex]_{10}P_{3} =\frac{10!}{(10-3)!}[/tex]

which simplifies down to

[tex]_{10}P_{3} =\frac{10!}{7!}[/tex]

Since every number less than 8 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator, we have

[tex]_{10}P_{3}=10*9*8[/tex]

which equals 720
