From a set of people, a committee of size is to be chosen, and from this committee, a subcommittee of size , , is also to be chosen.
(a) Derive a combinatorial identity by computing, in two ways, the number of possible choices of the committee and subcommittee—first by supposing that the committee is chosen first and then the subcommittee is chosen, and second
by supposing that the subcommittee is chosen first and then the remaining members of the committee are chosen.
(b) Use part (a) to prove the following combinatorial identity:role="math" localid="1648189818817"
(c) Use part (a) and Theoretical Exercise 13 to show that:role="math" localid="1648189841030"
Five separate awards (best scholarship, best leadership qualities, and so on) are to be presented to selected students
from a class of . How many different outcomes are possible if
(a) a student can receive any number of awards?
(b) each student can receive at most award?
Two experiments are to be performed. The first can result in any one of m possible outcomes. If the first experiment results in outcome i, then the second experiment can result in any of ni possible outcomes, i = 1, 2, ..., m. What is the number of possible outcomes of the two experiments?
Expand.
A student is to answer out of questions in an examination. How many choices has she? How many if she must answer at least of the first questions?
