(a) 30 = 8++2 (b) 62 = (c) 28 = The first digit must be 6,, 8, or 9. The second and third digit are free to be anything but the last digit must be odd. nswer: The first digit is 3 or bigger and the last digit is either 0 or 5. nswer: choices for 6 true/false and 4 choices for 5 multiple choice. nswer: = The first 9 questions have 5 options (4 choices and one blank) and for the last 6 questions have choices (6 choices and one blank). nswer: (a) Since the number of boys and girls are equal then the only way that they can alternate is to start with a boy. 5 oy * 4 * 4 * 3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * * Girl oy Girl oy Girl oy Girl nswer: 5!*4! oy (b) First place the girls at the start of the row and the boys at the end. 4 Girl * 3 * 2 * * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * Girl Girl Girl oy oy oy oy oy Now determine how many ways the girls can be moved down the row with them still sitting next to each other( 6 ways). nswer: (4! 5!) Too many boys, not enough girls. nswer: First consider the row with Jacob or Fred in the middle seat (2 options) and then Randy and Susan in the first two seats(2 options). 2 R/S * * 4 * 2 * 3 * 2 * R/S ny J/F ny ny ny Now determine how many places Randy and Susan can be placed in the row (4 ways). nswer: 4 ( ) = Note the license plate has a specified form. 26 Letter * 25 * 9 * 9 * Letter Symbol 2. This is the same as the previous question except the letters and numbers positions can be shuffled. You need to determine how many ways that this can happen. nswer: ( ) There should be only one blank for the code for the month since 0,... 2 are each a fixed item. If you do two blanks, then you allow things like 3, 4,..., 9. 3 J,H,T * 2 * * * * First consider the case when all three letters are on the left and the digits are on the right. 26 Letter * 25 * 24 * * Letter Letter Now determine how many ways you can rearrange the letter/number positions. nswer: ( )

3 4 homework problems, -copyright Joe Kahlig hapter 6 Solutions, Page !willorderthe blue books, 5!will orderthegreenbooks, and 2! will order the red books. Now determine how many ways the three different colors can be placed in a row. nswer: (4! 5! 2!) 3! 3. Similar to the problem 30. Uses author names instead of colors. nswer: (3! 2! 6! 5!) 4! 32. The problem asks for at least one 5 being rolled. Method : count all the cases. Exactly one five: Exactly two fives: Exactly three fives: Now add these results to get the final answer. Method 2: You don t want an outcome with no fives. Total: Don t want: nswer: = This problem is similar as problem 32. Use the second method. nswer: = There are 6 even numbers and odd numbers in this range. If the first two people pick an even number and the last two pick an odd number then there are 6 6 possibilities. Now shuffle which two people are going to pick the even numbers. nswer: (6 6 ) 6 =, Use the total - don t want method. There are a total of 8 4 codes. The number of codes without a vowel is 5 4. nswer: = First consider the first two people to have the same birthday and the last two have different birthdays. There are ways for this to happen. Now shuffle which two people have the same birthday. nswer: 6( ) 3. Since the number of boys and girls are not the same and we have an odd number of people in the row, we must compute both forms of alternating and add the results. 6 * 9 * 5 * 8 * * 6 * 8 * 5 * G G G G 38. Method : t least one digit is a seven Method 2: Total - Don t want (a) 8336 G (b) 8336 (c) 2600 (d) 200 (e) 344 (f) (g) (h) 450 (i) 450 (j) (k) (l) Order is important since the secretaries are each working for a different manager. nswer: 2 = P(,3) 4.

Since all of the positions have the same title, order is not important. (,2) (8,3) 45. Method : There are symbols(4 zeroes and 6 ones) so the total number of ways to arrange these is!, but since some symbols are repeated we need to divide by the repeats. nswer:! 4!6! Method 2: There are blanks to fill and we need 4 of them to be zeroes. The rest of the positions will be ones. nswer: (,4) (6,6) = (,4) or (,6) (4,4) = (,6) 46. Method : If there were no restrictionsthere would be 3 possibilities. There are only possibilities for one person to win all of the awards, so the answer is the difference. nswer: 3 = 336 Method 2: First count the distinct wins of which there are 6 5 possibilities. Then choose two of the three awards to be given to one person and count the number of ways to give two awards to people. dd the results. nswer: 6 5+(3,2) 6.

Method : since there are blocks and 5 positions let e represent the empty spots. Then rrrrrrggggeeeee would represent how the blocks could be placed on the sheets of papers. To get another arrangement, then just shuffle the letters. Method 2: pick the positions that the blocks will be placed. Since each block will be on a different sheet of paper, we do not have repeats. lso order is not important. Thus (5,6) would place the red blocks into their positions. do something similar for the green blocks. nswer: (5, 3)(6, 4)(4, 3) + (5, 3)(6, 5)(4, 2)+ (5, 3)(6, 6)(4, )
