1-D)40

2-D $\frac{2}{5}$

3-B) $\frac{1}{4}$

4 There are 120 permutations.

5 There are 165 combinations.

6 Sample space is {HH,HT,TH,TT}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1

Step 1

The fundamental counting theorem states that for process that can be carried out in k steps where the fist step can be done in n_1 ways, step 2 can be done in n_2 number of ways and the $k^{th}$ can be done in n_k number of ways, the number of ways to complete this task is $n_1\times n_1\times....\times n_k$ ways.

Step 2

We now realize that this process can be carried out in 2 steps , there are 8 ways to complete the first step and 5 ways to complete the second step. The number of ways to carry out this calculation is shown below,

$8\times 5=40.$ The correct answer is D.

Number 2

Step 1

in this step we calculate the number total number of cans in the ice chest. Since there are 30 red cans and 20 green cans, there is a total of 50 cans.

Step 2

In this step we find the probability of grabbing a green can by dividing the total number of green cans by the total number of cans. The calculation for the probability is shown below,

$P(G)=\frac{20}{50} =\frac{2}{5}.$

The correct answer is D.

Number 3

Step 1

The first step is to realize that there is a $\frac{1}{2}$ chance of getting a head when flipping a coin. When a die is rolled the sample space is {1,2,3,4,5,6}. From this we can tell that there are 3 out of 6 ways to get an even number from this sample space. The probability for an even number is $\frac{3}{6}$

Step 2

The second step in this process is to realize that these two events are independent hence we multiply the individual probabilities of the different outcomes to get the odds of a head and an even number. This calculation is shown below,

$P(H\&E)=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}.$

The correct answer is D

Number 4

Step 1

The first step is to realize that the only unique letters in INNOVATIVE are {I,N,O,V,A,T,E}, i.e there are only seven unique permutations of these letters.

Step 2

The second step is to calculate the number of 4 permutations of 7 objects.

This is calculated as shown below,

$P(7,4)=\frac{7!}{4!} =\frac{7\times6\times5\times 4!}{4!} =210.$

There are 210 unique permutations of these letters.

Number 5

Step 1

Realize that the number of r combinations of n objects is , $C(n,r)=^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}.$

Step 2

We realize that in this problem we have to make 3 combinations of 11 objects. The calculation to determine the number of combination sis shown below,

$C(11,3)=^{11}C_3=\frac{11!}{3!\cdot(11-3)!} =\frac{11\times 10\times9\times8!}{3!\times 8!}=165$

Number 6

Step 1

We list the outcomes where we first get a head. These outcomes are {HH,HT}. Next we list the outcomes in which we get a tail first. These outcomes are {TH,TT }

Step 2

In this step we combine all the outcomes step 1. The combined list of outcomes is {HH,HT, TH, TT}
