How many different ways can the cases be assigned if only 1 case is assigned to each agent?

The number of different ways to assign cases to agents depends on the number of cases and agents available. If there are ( n ) cases and ( n ) agents, the assignments can be calculated using permutations, which is ( n! ) (n factorial). This represents all the possible arrangements of assigning each case to a different agent. If the number of cases does not match the number of agents, the calculation would need to adjust accordingly, typically using combinations or additional constraints.
