A builder is planning to build 12 houses along one side of a road. He will build 2 houses in style A, 2 houses in style B, 3 houses in style C, 4 houses in style D and 1 house in style E. (i) Find the number of possible arrangements of these 12 houses. (ii) Road First group Sccond group The 12 houses will be in two groups of 6 (see diagram). Find the number of possible arrangements if all the houses in styles A and D are in the first group and all the houses in styles B, Cand E are in the second group. (iii) Four of the 12 houses will be selected for a survey. Exactly one house must be in style Band exactly one house in style C. Find the number of ways in which these four houses can be selected.
Boos Anonymous, a support group for poltergeists recovering from exorcisms on Halloween, is trying to reform the public image of ghosts by giving away n pieces of candy to children. The group has an unlimited supply of 4 types of candy - Reese’s Cups, Snickers, Milky Ways, and Kit Kats. Assume that all candy of the same type is identical and that the poltergeists must distribute the four types of candy with the following simultaneous restrictions: at least 3 Reese’s Cups between 5 and 13 Snickers bars less than 9 Kit Kats Create a generating function that represents the number of ways to distribute n pieces of candy. Justify your answer by first stating an integer equation (including restrictions) modeling the posed combinatorial problem.

Please help solve this question into details for me. I want to use it to understand the concept of permutation and combinations. Thanks a lot. For this Big Problem, we’re going to investigate the different combinatorial formulas tofigure out why they are the way they are. Using Zoom! (1) Suppose you are organizing a Zoom meeting and invite ten people. You don’t knowwho all is coming so you watch people sign on one at a time. How many possibilitiesare there for the first, second, and third people to sign on? (2) What formula did you use for question one, and why? (3) Suppose you are running late so by the time you log on three people have alreadyarrived. How many possibilities are there for which three people are logged on? (4) What formula did you use for question three, and why? (5) You know that Person A, Person B, and Person C logged on before you but you don’tknow who came first. How many possibilities are there for the order of A, B, and Cto have signed on before you? (6) What…

Nine IU South Bend students are going on a trip to Indianapolis for a Clots game. Go Colts! (a) They will seat in a row. In how many ways can they seat if Josh, Mark and Mary will sit together? (b) They will travel with three cars that hold 2, 4, and 5 people, respectively. All of them can drive. Find the number of possible ways to allocate 9 people to 3 cars that each car has at least one person (each car has to have a driver) (i) if the allocations are to the cars only (disregard the seats in the car). (ii) if the allocations are to the seats.

Combinatorics: 9. Three young brother-sister pairs from different families need to take a trip in a van. These six children will occupy the second and third rows in the van, each of which has three seats. To avoid disruptions, the siblings may not sit right next to each other in a row and no child may sit directly in front of his or her sibling. How many seating arrangements are possible for this trip? 10. Every positive integer greater than 1 has at least two divisors and can be written as a unique product of some prime number/s with exponents. For example, 5 5 has two divisors (1 and 5 itself) 6 = 2' x 3' has four divisors (1, 2, 3 and 6) 16 2* has five divisors (1, 2, 4, 8 and 16). az a dk-1 If a number n 3 р,' хр, хр,, х...х р1хр, where p,, p2 Р3-.
