How many different combinations of 4 books can be chosen from 6 books?
The number of 4 different book combinations you can choose from 6 books is;6C4 =6!/[4!(6-4)!] =15 combinations of 4 different books.
How many ways can you rearrange the letters in the word pencil?
To calculate the number of ways the letters in the word "pencil" can be rearranged, we first determine the total number of letters, which is 6. Since there are two repeated letters (the letter 'e'), we divide the total number of letters by the factorial of the number of times each repeated letter appears. This gives us 6! / 2! = 360 ways to rearrange the letters in the word "pencil."
How many combinations do you get when you have three letters and three numbers?
720 is the number of ways to combine three known letters and three known numbers.For example, the letters A, B & C and the numbers 1, 2 & 3. The total combinations of these 6 characters is:(6 options)*(5 options)*(4)*(3)*(2)*(1) = 720.However, if the three numbers and three letters are unknown and any number or letter is possible, and repeated numbers or letters are acceptable (such as with a license plate), then the total possibilities for each "space" are multiplied together:(26 possibilities)*(26 possibilities)*(26 possibilities)*(10 possibilities)*(10 " ")*(10 " ") = 17,576,000 combinations.That is, there are 26 letters in the alphabet and 10 numbers (0 thru 9).This is assuming that three of the six spaces spaces are reserved for letters and three spaces are reservedfor numbers.If the combination can be any three letters and any three numbers where different combinations are made by changing whether each space contains a number or a letter, then the answer becomes a product and sum of different choose functions and is much more complicated...
How many 4 digit combinations can you get from numbers 1226?
To calculate the number of 4-digit combinations you can get from the numbers 1, 2, 2, and 6, we need to consider that the number 2 is repeated. Therefore, the total number of combinations is calculated using the formula for permutations of a multiset, which is 4! / (2!1!1!) = 12. So, there are 12 unique 4-digit combinations that can be formed from the numbers 1, 2, 2, and 6.
What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word oregon?
360. There are 6 letters, so there are 6! (=720) different permutations of 6 letters. However, since the two 'o's are indistinguishable, it is necessary to divide the total number of permutations by the number of permutations of the letter 'o's - 2! = 2 Thus 6! ÷ 2! = 360
