Problem 8

Matthew works as a computer operator at a small university. One evening he finds that 12 computer programs have been submitted earlier that day for batch processing. In how many ways can Matthew order the processing of these programs if (a) there are no restrictions? (b) he considers four of the programs higher in priority than the other eight and wants to process those four first? (c) he first separates the programs into four of top priority, five of lesser priority, and three of least priority, and he wishes to process the 12 programs in such a way that the top-priority programs are processed first and the three programs of least priority are processed last?

Problem 10

Pamela has 15 different books. In how many ways can she place her books on two shelves so that there is at least one book on each shelf? (Consider the books in any arrangement to be stacked one next to the other, with the first book on each shelf at the left of the shelf.)

Problem 10

How many ways are there to pick a five-person basketball team from 12 possible players? How many selections include the weakest and the strongest players?

Problem 11

Two \(n\)-digit integers (leading zeros allowed) are considered equivalent if one is a rearrangement of the other. (For example, 12033, 20331, and 01332 are considered equivalent five-digit integers.) a) How many five-digit integers are not cquivalent? b) If the digits 1,3, and 7 can appear at most once, how many nonequivalent five-digit integers are there?
