c.

d.

e.
2. Using fundamental counting principles solve the following exercises.
a. If two cards are drawn from a deck of 52 cards find the total number of outcomes where
the first card is a club and the second card is a diamond.
To find the total number of outcomes where the first card is a club and the second card is
a diamond, we need to calculate the product of the number of outcomes for each event.

Number of outcomes for the first card being a club:

There are 13 clubs in a deck of 52 cards, so there are 13 possible outcomes for the first
card.

Number of outcomes for the second card being a diamond:

After drawing the first card, there are 51 cards left in the deck. Among them, there are 13
diamonds. Therefore, there are 13 possible outcomes for the second card.

To find the total number of outcomes for both events, we multiply the number of outcomes
for each event:

Total outcomes = Number of outcomes for the first card * Number of outcomes for the
second card
= 13 * 13
= 169

Therefore, there are 169 possible outcomes where the first card drawn is a club and the
second card drawn is a diamond.

b. There are 5 students and 7 chairs. In how many ways can students choose their chairs?
To determine the number of ways the students can choose their chairs, we can use the
multiplication rule.

Since each student can choose one chair, we multiply the number of choices for each
student together to get the total number of arrangements.

In this case, we have 5 students and 7 chairs. For the first student, there are 7 choices of
chairs. For the second student, there are 6 choices remaining, and so on.

Therefore, the total number of ways the students can choose their chairs is:

7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 5,040

There are 5,040 ways in which the 5 students can choose their chairs from the available 7
chairs.
c. A conference room has 8 doors. In how many ways can one person enter and then exit the
room at once?
Using the fundamental counting principle, we can determine the number of ways one
person can enter and then exit the room at once.

Since there are 8 doors, the person can enter through any of the 8 doors and exit through
any of the 8 doors. These are independent events, so we can multiply the number of
choices for each event.

Therefore, the total number of ways one person can enter and then exit the room at once
is:

8 × 8 = 64

There are 64 ways in which one person can enter and then exit the room at once.

d. Two balls are to be drawn from a bag containing 3 black and 2 red balls. How many
outcomes are possible where each ball is a different color?
To determine the number of outcomes where each ball is a different color, we can use the
multiplication rule.

First, we select one ball, which can be either black or red. We have a choice of 3 black balls
and 2 red balls, so there are 3 + 2 = 5 choices for the first ball.

After selecting the first ball, we have to choose the second ball, which must be of a
different color than the first ball. Since we have already chosen one ball, there are now 4
balls remaining in the bag (2 of each color).

Therefore, the number of outcomes where each ball is a different color is:

5 choices for the first ball × 4 choices for the second ball = 20

There are 20 possible outcomes where each ball is a different color

e. Determine in how many ways a boy-girl couple can be formed from a group of 4 boys and
3 girls.
To determine the number of ways a boy-girl couple can be formed, we can use the
multiplication rule.

First, we select one boy from the group of 4 boys. We have a choice of 4 boys for this
selection.
 After selecting the boy, we choose one girl from the group of 3 girls. We have a choice of 3
girls for this selection.

Therefore, the number of ways a boy-girl couple can be formed is:

4 choices for the boy × 3 choices for the girl = 12

There are 12 different ways a boy-girl couple can be formed from the given group.
3. Permutations and combinations
a. There are 9 baseball players in the starting lineup. How many different ways can the coach
arrange the batting order?

P(9, 9) = 9!

Calculating 9!, we get:

9! = 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 362,880

Therefore, there are 362,880 different ways the coach can arrange the batting order.

b. Suppose three horses, Amber, Beryl and Crystal, run in a race. Assuming all three finish the
race, one will come in first, one in second and one in third place. How many different
arrangements of first, second and third place are possible?
Calculating 3!, we get:

3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, there are 6 different arrangements of first, second, and third place in the race.

c. Marla has 30 coins all of them are different, she wants to take 7 of them, in how many
ways can be formed the group of 7 coins?
To determine the number of ways Marla can form a group of 7 coins out of 30 different
coins, we can use combinations.

We need to find the number of combinations of 30 objects taken 7 at a time, denoted as

C(30, 7).

Using the formula for combinations, we have:

C(30, 7) = 30! / (7! * (30 - 7)!)

Calculating the factorials, we get:

 C(30, 7) = 30! / (7! * 23!)

Simplifying further, we have:

C(30, 7) = (30 * 29 * 28 * 27 * 26 * 25 * 24) / (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)

Evaluating the expression, we find:

C(30, 7) = 2035800

Therefore, there are 2,035,800 different ways Marla can form a group of 7 coins out of 30
different coins.

d. In how many ways can a group of 12 persons can be formed in a line of 3 places?
To determine the number of ways a group of 12 persons can be formed in a line of 3
places, we can use permutations.

We need to find the number of permutations of 12 objects taken 3 at a time, denoted as

P(12, 3).

Using the formula for permutations, we have:

P(12, 3) = 12! / (12 - 3)!

Calculating the factorials, we get:

P(12, 3) = 12! / 9!

Simplifying further, we have:

P(12, 3) = (12 * 11 * 10 * 9!) / 9!

The factorials in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving us with:

P(12, 3) = 12 * 11 * 10

Evaluating the expression, we find:

P(12, 3) = 1,320

Therefore, there are 1,320 different ways a group of 12 persons can be formed in a line of
3 places.
e. Carlos wants to sit his 8 friends in a rectangular table. I how many ways can them be
seated?
Total number of seating arrangements = 9! + 9!

Simplifying further, we have:

Total number of seating arrangements = 2 * 9!

Calculating the factorial, we find:

Total number of seating arrangements = 2 * 362,880

Total number of seating arrangements = 725,760

Therefore, there are 725,760 different ways Carlos and his 8 friends can be seated at a
rectangular table.
f. In how many ways can 10 balls can be placed inside a circular bucket?
Calculating the factorial, we find:

8! = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 40,320

Therefore, there are 40,320 different ways to place 10 balls inside a circular bucket.
g. We need to form a 5 digit number using a dice, in how many ways can the number can be
formed?
6P5 = 6! / (6 - 5)!
= 6! / 1!
=6×5×4×3×2
= 720.

Therefore, there are 720 different ways to form a 5-digit number using a dice.

h. We need to take 7 cards from a deck of 52 cards, each card is drawn and returned to the
deck, how many possible ways can we draw the 7 cards?
(58! / (7! * (58 - 7)!))
= (58! / (7! * 51!))
= (58 * 57 * 56 * 55 * 54 * 53 * 52) / (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 133,784,560.
i. In a supermarket we have 10 different fruits and 7 different vegetables; in how many ways
can we choose 4 fruits and 3 vegetables?
The number of ways to choose 4 fruits from 10 different fruits can be calculated using the
formula for combinations:

C(10, 4) = 10! / (4! * (10 - 4)!)

 = 10! / (4! * 6!)
= (10 * 9 * 8 * 7) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 210.

Similarly, the number of ways to choose 3 vegetables from 7 different vegetables can be
calculated as:

C(7, 3) = 7! / (3! * (7 - 3)!)

= 7! / (3! * 4!)
= (7 * 6 * 5) / (3 * 2 * 1)
= 35.

To find the total number of ways to choose 4 fruits and 3 vegetables, we can multiply the
two results:

Total number of ways = C(10, 4) * C(7, 3)

= 210 * 35
= 7,350.

Therefore, there are 7,350 different ways to choose 4 fruits and 3 vegetables from the
given options in the supermarket.

j. In how many ways can 10 students can be formed in groups of 4 persons?

C(10, 4) = 10! / (4! * (10 - 4)!)

= 10! / (4! * 6!)
= (10 * 9 * 8 * 7) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 210.

Therefore, there are 210 different ways to form groups of 4 persons from a set of 10 students.
