Ex 1. You want to pick a student council president and vice-president. You have 5 people that could fill any of the above positions. How many possibilities are there? 20 Is this a combination or a permutation?
Ex 2. Two students from your homeroom are selected to be representatives. If there are 5 students who want to be reps in your homeroom, how many possible selections are there? 10 Is this a combination or a permutation?
Ex 3. A moped license plate has two letters and then four numbers in it. How many plates can be made? 26(letters) * 26(letters) * 10(digits) * 10(digits) * 10(digits) * 10(digits) = 6,760,000
Ex 4. A moped license plate has two letters and then four numbers in it. How many plates can be made without duplicating numbers or letters? • 26 x 25 x 10 x 9 x8 x 7 = 3,276,000
