Powered by AIWhen repetition is allowed, each position in a 4-digit number can be filled by any of the 7 available digits. Therefore, the total number of combinations is 7^4 = 2401 .
To find the number of different 5-letter words using 'APPLE', treat all letters as distinct initially; it has 5! permutations. However, since 'P' occurs twice, divide by the permutations of 'P' to avoid repeats. Thus, the number of permutations is 5! / 2! = 60 .
Calculate all non-empty subsets (bouquets) of the 10 flowers using 2^10, then subtract the empty set: 2^10 - 1 = 1023 bouquets .
To solve for the number of ways to form a committee with at least one woman, you first calculate the total number of ways to form any committee of 4 members from 13 individuals without restrictions using combinations: 13C4 = 715. Next, subtract the number of all-male committees, which is 8C4 = 70. Therefore, the number of ways to form a committee with at least one woman is 715 - 70 = 645 .
Use inclusion-exclusion: total students = 40, play cricket = 15, play football = 20, both = 10. Playing either: 15 + 20 - 10 = 25. Not playing either = 40 - 25 = 15. Probability = 15/40 = 3/8 .
First calculate the ways to pick two blue balls: 7C2 = 21. The total ways to pick any two balls from the box is 12C2 = 66. Therefore, the probability that both are blue is 21/66 = 7/22 .
To determine the number of arrangements for 'MISSISSIPPI', account for repeated letters: M=1, I=4, S=4, P=2. The total permutations are 11! / (1! * 4! * 4! * 2!) = 34650 .
Apply the stars and bars theorem. For 3 boxes where each gets at least 1, subtract 3 from 7, leaving 4. Distribute these over the 3 boxes using stars and bars, yielding: (4+2) choose 2 = 15 ways .
The prime number sums possible from two dice are 3, 5, 7, and 11. Calculating their occurrences: sum of 3 has 2 combinations (1,2 or 2,1), sum of 5 has 4 combinations (1,4 or (2,3) or (3,2) or (4,1)), sum of 7 has 6 combinations, and sum of 11 has 2 combinations (5,6 or 6,5). Totaling to 14 favorable outcomes out of 36 possible combinations (6x6), the probability is 14/36 = 7/18 .
The probability of drawing either a king or a heart can be determined by first calculating the probability of each individual event and then accounting for overlap. The probability of drawing a king is 4/52 since there are 4 kings in a deck. The probability of drawing a heart is 13/52. However, the king of hearts is counted twice in these probabilities. Thus, the probability of drawing either a king or a heart is (4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52) = 16/52 = 4/13 .
