Consider three classes, each consisting of n students. From this group of 3nstudents, a group of 3 students is to be chosen.

(a) How many choices are possible?

(b) How many choices are there in which all 3 students are in the same class?

(c) How many choices are there in which 2 of the 3 students are in the same class and the other student is in a different class?

(d) How many choices are there in which all 3 students are in different classes?

(e) Using the results of parts (a) through (d), write a combinatorial identity.

(a) The possible no. of choices are3n3.

(b) The possible no. of choices that all 3students are in the same class are3n3.

(c) The possible no. of choices that 2of the 3students are in the same class and the other student is in a different class are3n22n1.

(d) The possible no. of choices that all 3students are in different classes aren3

(e) Using the results of parts (a) through (d), the combinatorial identity will berole="math" localid="1649084344661" 3n3=3n3+3n22n1+n3

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

It is given that, there are three classes and each class has nnumber of students and we have to select 3students from the total number of students.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Find the possible no. of choices.

To select3students from3nstudents, the possible no. of choices arelocalid="1649084012796" 3n3.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Find the possible no. of choices that all 3 students are in the same class.

No. of ways of selecting 3students from a class of nstudents is role="math" localid="1649055941717" =n3.

No. of ways of choosing any of the 3classes =31=3.

Therefore, the possible no. of choices that all 3 students are in the same class are3n3.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Find the possible no. of choices that 2 of the 3 students are in the same class and the other student is in a different class.

No. of ways of selecting 2students from a class of nstudents is =n2.

No. of ways of selecting 1student from a class of nstudents is =n1.

The class from which 2students are selected can be chosen in 31ways=3

The class from which 1students is selected can be chosen in 21ways=2

Therefore, the possible no. of ways are=3n22n1

05

Part (d) Step 1. Find the possible no. of choices that all 3 students are in different classes.

No. of ways of selecting1student from nstudents is n1=n

No. of choices for 3students =nnn

Therefore, the possible no. of choices that all 3 students are in different classes=n3.

06

Part (e) Step 1. Write a combinatorial identity.

Using the results of parts (a) through (d), the combinatorial identity will be

3n3=3n3+3n22n1+n3

An elevator starts at the basement with 8people (not including the elevator operator) and discharges them all by the time it reaches the top floor, number6. In how many ways could the operator have perceived the people leaving the elevator if all people look alike to him? What if the 8people consisted of 5men and 3women and the operator could tell a man from a woman?

An art collection on auction consisted of 4Dalis, 5van Goghs, and 6Picassos. At the auction were 5 art collectors. If a reporter noted only the number of Dalis, van Goghs, and Picassos acquired by each collector, how many different results could have been recorded if all of the works were sold?

Consider the grid of points shown at the top of the next column. Suppose that, starting at the point labelled A, you can go one step up or one step to the right at each move. This procedure is continued until the point labelled B is reached. How many different paths from A to B are possible? Hint: Note that to reach B from A, you must take 4steps to the right and 3steps upward.

In how many ways can nidentical balls be distributed into rurns so that the ithurn contains at least miballs, for each i=1,...,r? Assume that ni=1rmi.

A total of nstudents are enrolled in a review course for the actuarial examination in probability. The posted

results of the examination will list the names of those who passed, in decreasing order of their scores. For instance, the posted result will be 鈥淏rown, Cho鈥 if Brown and Cho are the only ones to pass, with Brown receiving the higher score. Assuming that all scores are distinct (no ties), how many posted results are possible?
