2020062802group D - Lesson 2

This document contains 4 examples and 4 practice problems about probability and combinatorics. Example 1 asks about the number of increasing geometric sequences from 1 to 500 with an integer common ratio. Example 2 asks about the number of positive integers under 1000 not divisible by 5 or 7. Example 3 asks about the probability of an odd product when drawing cards with numbers 3 to 9. Example 4 asks about the probability that a 2-digit number is divisible by 4 when the digits are random.

Group D – Lesson 2

Example 1
How many ways are there to choose 4 distinct positive integer numbers 𝑥1, 𝑥2, 𝑥3 and 𝑥4
from the set 𝑆 = {1, 2, … , 499, 500} such that 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , 𝑥3 , 𝑥4 is an increasing geometric
sequence and its common ratio is a positive integer number?

Example 2
Determine the number of positive integers less than 1000 which are divisible by neither 7
nor 5.

Example 3
The numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are written on individual cards and placed in a hat. If four
cards are drawn without replacement, compute the probability that the product of the
numbers on the cards chosen is odd.
