2. (a) How many numbers of 5 different digits each can be formed from
the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
(b) How many of these numbers are even?
not zero
(c) How many of these numbers are divisable by 5? verify this result
3. How many phone numbers can be made under the following conditions:
(First digit cannot be 0 or 1 because you'll get the operator or long distance.)
• The first two digits are 3 followed by 6
• The third digit is even
• The fourth digit is greater than 5
• The fifth and seventh digits are odd
• The sixth digit is 2
4. Permutation: An ordered arrangement of objects without repetition.
Formula: A.K.A the quot;Pickquot; formula.
n is the number of objects to pick from
r is the number of objects to be arranged
is read as quot;n pick rquot;
means: Given a set of n objects, how many ordered
arrangements can be made using only r of them at a time?
Example: There are 8 horses in a race. In how many ways can three of them
finish first, second and third?

6. How many ways can the batting order of a 9-member softball team be listed?
7. A 120-room hotel has reservations from 6 guests for 6 different rooms. In how

8. How many different quot;wordsquot; can you make from the letters in the word
BOOK?
10. Permutations of Non-Distinguishable Objects
The number of ways to arrange n objects that contain
sets of non-distinguishable objects is given by:
Example: How many different quot;wordsquot; can be made form the letters in
the word: (a) BOOK (b) MISSISSIPPI
# of I's = 4
# of O's = 2 ∴
# of S's = 4
# of P's = 2 ∴
