Math and Statistics need not be scary
1). License plate. 3 letters, 3 numbers. order matters, values can repeat, use power. 263 * 103 = 17576*100 or 1,756,600 combinations.
2) For every girl, she can have 15 partners. 21 girls x 15 = 315 possible pairs
3) If numbers can repeat, total of 4 10 digit combinations is 104 or 10,000 (including 0000)
4) 7, 8, and 9 can not be used for the first number because the number can not exceed 700. 3 and 4 can not be used for the first number because the whole number must be larger than 500. So The first number must be 6.
Even numbers must end in an even number. That gives 2 numbers for the last digit (4,8)
The middle number can be 3,7,9,8, or 4, however 8 and 4 can only be used half the time each because when the last number is 8 , it can not be in the middle and when 4 is the last number it can not be used in th middle. Total number of combinations with the first digit fixed at 3 and the last digit either 4 or 8 would be 4*2 or 8,
5). -9 --- you should be able to start seeing some patterns here I leave this for the student.
10) this is a combination problem where order does matter since the position of president is not the same as the position of auditor. 10P5. or 30,240
