To determine the number of ways a team can sweep the gold, silver, and bronze medals, we can use permutations since the order matters. Assuming the team has three distinct members, the number of ways to assign the medals is given by 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. Thus, the team can win the gold, silver, and bronze medals in 6 different ways.
Gold, Silver and Bronze are medals given to the winners of the first, second and third places, respectively, in the Olympic tournaments. They are named after their respective metals.
