A psychology laboratory conducting dream research contains 3 rooms, with 2 beds in each room. If 3 sets of identical twins are to be assigned to these 6 beds so that each set of twins sleeps in different beds in the same room, how many assignments are possible?
Let \(H_{k}(n)\) be the number of vectors \(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{k}\) for which each \(x_{i}\) is a positive integer satisfying \(1 \leq x_{i} \leq n\) and \(x_{1} \leq x_{2} \leq \cdots \leq x_{k}\) (a) Without any computations, argue that $$ \begin{aligned} &H_{1}(n)=n \\ &H_{k}(n)=\sum_{j=1}^{n} H_{k-1}(j) \quad k>1 \end{aligned} $$ HINT: How many vectors are there in which \(x_{k}=j\) ? (b) Use the preceding recursion to compute \(H_{3}(5)\). HINT: First compute \(H_{2}(n)\) for \(n=1,2,3,4,5\).
Ten weight lifters are competing in a team weight-lifting contest. Of the lifters, 3 are from the United States, 4 are from Russia, 2 are from China, and 1 is from Canada. If the scoring takes account of the countries that the lifters represent but not their individual identities, how many different outcomes are possible from the point of view of scores? How many different outcomes correspond to results in which the United States has 1 competitor in the top three and 2 in the bottom three?
An elevator starts at the basement with 8 people (not including the elevator operator) and discharges them all by the time it reaches the top floor, number 6. In how many ways could the operator have perceived the people leaving the elevator if all people look alike to him? What if the 8 people consisted of 5 men and 3 women and the operator could tell a man from a woman?
Delegates from 10 countries, including Russia, France, England, and the United States, are to be seated in a row. How many different seating arrangements are possible if the French and English delegates are to be seated next to each other, and the Russian and U.S. delegates are not to be next to each other?
