Answer:
2.03 × 10¹⁴ different possibilities.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know the different ways 1000 people can come out to watch a movie at 6 different times of the day.
This is a permutation and combination problem.
Dividing 1000 people amongst 6 movie showings = 1005C5 = 1005!/(1005-5)!5!
= (1005×1004×1003×1002×1001×1000!)/(1000!5!) = (1005×1004×1003×1002×1001)/5! = 2.03 × 10¹⁴ different possibilities.
