PERMUTATIONS WITH REPETITIONS, ORDERED SAMPLES


5.51. Find the number of permutations that can be formed from all the letters of each word: (a) QUEUE; (b) COMMITTEE;
(c) PROPOSITION; (d) BASEBALL.
5.52. Suppose we are given 4 identical red flags, 2 identical blue flags, and 3 identical green flags. Find the numbermof
different signals that can be formed by hanging the 9 flags in a vertical line.
5.53. A box contains 12 lightbulbs. Find the numbernof ordered samples of size 3:
(a) with replacement; (b) without replacement.
5.54. A class contains l0 students. Find the numbernof ordered samples of size 4:
(a) with replacement; (b) without replacement.

COMBINATIONS


5.55. A restaurant has 6 different desserts. Find the number of ways a customer can choose:
(a) 1 dessert; (b) 2 of the desserts; (c) 3 of the desserts.

(a) the first two questions; (c) exactly 3 out of the first 5 questions;
(b) the first or second question but not both; (d) at least 3 of the first 5 questions.

INCLUSION–EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE


5.61. Suppose 32 students are in an art classAand 24 students are in a biology classB, and suppose 10 students are in both
classes. Find the number of students who are:
(a) in classAor in classB; (b) only in classA; (c) only in classB.
5.62. A survey of 80 car owners shows that 24 own a foreign-made car and 60 own a domestic-made car. Find the number
of them who own:
(a) both a foreign made car and a domestic made car;
(b) only a foreign made car;
(c) only a domestic made car.
5.63. Consider all integers from 1 up to and including 100. Find the number of them that are:
(a) odd or the square of an integer; (b) even or the cube of an integer.
5.64. In a class of 30 students, 10 gotAon the first test, 9 gotAon a second test, and 15 did not get anAon either test.
Find: the number of students who got:

(a) anAon both tests;
(b) anAon the first test but not the second;
(c) anAon the second test but not the first.

5.65. Consider all integers from 1 up to and including 300. Find the number of them that are divisible by:
(a) at least one of 3, 5, 7; (c) by 5, but by neither 3 nor 7;
