A boy has 3 red , 2 yellow and 3 green marbles. In how many ways can the boy arrange the marbles in a line if: a) Marbles of the same color are indistinguishable?

The total number of different arrangements is 560.

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiset is a collection of objects, just like a set, but can contain an object more than once.

The multiplicity of a particular type of object is the number of times objects of that type appear in a multiset.

Permutations of Multisets Theorem.

The number of ordered n-tuples (or permutations with repetition) on a collection or multiset of objects, where there are kinds of objects and object kind 1 occurs with multiplicity , object kind 2 occurs with multiplicity , ... , and object kind occurs with multiplicity is:

We know that a boy has 3 red, 2 yellow and 3 green marbles. In this case we have n = 8.

If marbles of the same color are indistinguishable, then the total number of different arrangements is

answer: ouch. thats difficult

step-by-step explanation:

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.
