Final Answer: The number of ways to choose a president and vice-president from a committee of 8 people is \(\boxed{56}\).

Steps

Step 1 ：This is a permutation problem because the order in which the president and vice-president are chosen matters. We have 8 choices for the president and, once the president is chosen, we have 7 remaining choices for the vice-president.

Step 2 ：Therefore, the total number of ways to choose a president and vice-president is \(8 * 7 = 56\).

Step 3 ：Final Answer: The number of ways to choose a president and vice-president from a committee of 8 people is \(\boxed{56}\).
