Counting Sample Points

1. Students at a private liberal arts college are classified as being freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors, and also according to
whether they are male or female. Find the total number of possible classifications for the students of that college.

Solution: n1 = 4 = n1 . n2
n2 = 2 =4x2
= 8 ways

2. A developer of a new subdivision offers a prospective home buyer a choice of 4 designs, 3 different heating systems, a garage or
carport, and a patio or screened porch. How many different plans are available to this buyer?

Solution: n1 = 4
n2 = 3 = n1 . n2 . n3 . n4
n3 = 2 =4x3x2x2
n4 = 2 = 48 ways

3. If a multiple-choice test consists of 5 questions each with 4 possible answers of which only one is correct,
a. how many different ways can a student check off one answer to each question?

Solution: r=5 = n1 . n2 . n3 . n4 . n5
ni = 4 = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 or 45
i = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) = 1024 ways

b. How many ways can a student check off one answer to each question and get all the questions wrong?

Solution: r=5 = n1 . n2 . n3 . n4 . n5
ni = 3 =3x3x3x3x3
i = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) = 243 ways

4. Four married couples have bought 8 seats in a row for a concert. In how many different ways can they be seated
a. with no restrictions?

Solution: 8!
8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1
= 40320 ways 6
b. If each couple is to sit together?

Solution: 4 couples n1 = 24 = n1 . n2 . n3 . n4 . n5
4! or 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 n2 = 2 = 24 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 24 n3 = 2 = 384 ways
n4 = 2
2 persons each couple n5 = 2
2! or 2 x 1
=2

c. If all the men sit together to the right of all the women?

Solution: n1 = 4! = n1 . n2
= 24 = 24 x 24
n2 = 4! = 576 ways
= 24
5. How many bridge hands are possible containing 4 spades, 6 diamonds, 1 club, and 2 hearts?

Solution: 2 – 10 including A, J, Q, K = 13 cards


Totality of cards = 52 cards

nCr = n!
(n – r)! r!

13C4 = 715 ways


13C6 = 1716 ways
13C1 = 13 ways
13C2 = 78 ways

= n1 . n2 . n3 . n4
= 715 x 1716 x 13 x 78
= 1244117160 ways
