(a) By the generalized basic pr inciple of counting there are 26 ⋅ 26 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 = 67,600,000 (b) 26 ⋅ 25 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 6 = 19,656,000 2. 6
4 = 1296 3. An assignment is a sequence i1, …, i20 where ij is the job to which person j is assigned. Since only one person can be assigned to a job, it follows that the s equence is a permutation of the numbers 1, …, 20 and so there a re 20! different possible assign ments. 4. There are 4! possible arra ngements. By assigning instrument s to Jay, Jack, John and Jim, in that order, we see by the genera lized basic principle that ther e are 2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 = 4 possibilities. 5. There were 8 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9 = 144 possible codes. There were 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9 = 18 that started with a 4. 6. Each kitten can be identified by a code number i, j, k, l wh ere each of i, j, k, l is any of the numbers from 1 to 7. The number i represents which wife is carrying the kitten, j then represents which of that wife’s 7 sacks contain the kitten; k represents which of the 7 cats in sack j of wife i is the mother of the kitten; and l represents the number of the kitten of cat k in sack j of wife i. By the generalized princ iple there are thus 7 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 7 = 2401 kittens 7. (a) 6! = 720 ( b ) 2 ⋅ 3! ⋅ 3! = 72 (c) 4!3! = 144 ( d ) 6 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 1 = 72 8. (a) 5! = 120 ( b ) 7!
2!2! = 1260 ( c ) 11!
