Question 2

Solve the problem.
-Given {A, B, C}, list all of the combinations of two elements from the set.

Accepted Answer

Combinations do not consider the order of elements, so AB is the same as BA, making C the correct list of combinations of two elements from the set {A, B, C}.

Question 3

Solve the problem.
-In how many ways can a manager assign 7 employees at a coffee shop to 7 different tasks? Assume that each employee is assigned to exactly one task.

Accepted Answer

This is a permutation problem where we are arranging 7 unique items (employees) into 7 unique positions (tasks). The formula for permutations is n!, where n is the number of items to arrange. Therefore, the number of ways to assign the tasks is 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 5,040.

Question 6

Solve the problem.
-Given {A, B, C, D}, list all of the permutations of three elements from the set.

Accepted Answer

Permutations of three elements from a set of four elements involve arranging three out of the four elements in all possible ways. For each of the four elements, there are $4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24$ ways to arrange three elements, which is exactly what option B lists comprehensively for each starting element.

Question 7

Solve the problem.
-Twenty batteries are in a drawer. There are 5 dead batteries among the 20. If five batteries are selected at random, determine the number of ways in which 4 good batteries and 1 dead battery can
Be selected.

Accepted Answer

There are 15 good batteries and 5 dead batteries. The number of ways in which 4 good batteries and 1 dead battery can be selected is 15C4 * 5C1 = 6,825.

Question 9

Solve the problem.
-Determine the number of ways that 5 students can be selected from the class of 24 to play 5 different roles in a short play.

Accepted Answer

The number of ways to select and assign 5 students to 5 different roles is a permutation problem, calculated as 24P5 = 24! / (24-5)! = 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 = 1,860,480.

Question 10

Question 11

Solve the problem.
-In a "Pick-5" game, a player wins a prize for matching a 5-digit number from 0000 to 99,999 with the number randomly selected during the drawing. How many 5-digit numbers can a player choose?
Assume that a number can start with a zero or zeros such as 00001.

Accepted Answer

Since the numbers range from 00000 to 99999, there are 100,000 possible 5-digit combinations, including those starting with zeros.

Question 12

Solve the problem.
-Three biology books, 4 math books, and 2 physics books are to be placed on a book shelf where the books in each discipline are grouped together. In how many ways can the books be arranged on the
Book shelf?

Accepted Answer

First, arrange the three groups (biology, math, physics) which can be done in 3! = 6 ways. Then, arrange the books within each group: biology books in 3! = 6 ways, math books in 4! = 24 ways, and physics books in 2! = 2 ways. Multiply these together: 6 * 6 * 24 * 2 = 1,728.

Question 13

Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.
Provide the missing information.
-Two events in a sample space are ________ ________if they do not share any common elements.
That is, the two events do not overlap.

Question 14

Solve the problem.
-Liza is a basketball coach and must select 5 players out of 17 players to start a game. In how many ways can she select the 5 players if each player is equally qualified to play each position?

Accepted Answer

The number of ways to select 5 players out of 17 is calculated using the combination formula, which is C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], where n is the total number of items (17 players), and k is the number of items to choose (5 players). Therefore, C(17, 5) = 17! / [5!(17-5)!] = 17! / (5!12!) = 6,188.

Question 15

Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Question 16

Solve the problem.
-A committee of 4 men and 3 women is to be made from a group of 12 men and 8 women. In how many ways can such a committee be formed?

Accepted Answer

The number of ways to choose 4 men out of 12 is $C(12, 4) = \frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!} = 495$, and the number of ways to choose 3 women out of 8 is $C(8, 3) = \frac{8!}{3!(8-3)!} = 56$. The total number of ways to form the committee is the product of these two, which is $495 \times 56 = 27,720$.

Question 20

Solve the problem.
-In a drama class, 5 students are to be selected from 19 students to perform a synchronized dance. In how many ways can 19 students be selected from the 5?

Accepted Answer

The number of ways to select 5 students out of 19 for a synchronized dance is calculated using the combination formula, which is C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], where n is the total number of items, and k is the number of items to choose. Here, n=19 and k=5, so C(19, 5) = 19! / [5!(19-5)!] = 11,628.
