1. A telegraph can transmit two different signals: a dot and a dash. We want to encode the 26 letters of the English alphabet and the ten digits 0, 1, 2, . . . , 9 using sequences of these two symbols. What is the smallest integer n such that we can encode all these letters and digits with sequences of length at most n and length at least 1?

How many ways are there to construct a 4-digit code if numbers can be repeated?
Find the sum of the integers (a) from 1 to 35 and (b) from 1 to 2N.
Suppose that the check digit is computed as described in Example . Prove that transposition errors of adjacent digits will not be detected unless one of the digits is the check digit. Example Using Check Digits Many companies use check digits for security purposes or for error detection. For example, an the digit may be appended to a -bit identification number to obtain the -digit invoice number of the form where the th bit, , is the check digit, computed as . If congruence modulo is used, then the check digit for an identification number . Thus the complete correct invoice number would appear as . If the invoice number were used instead and checked, an error would be detected, since .
How many ways are there to choose a number from the set 10,6,4,10,12,18,24,32 that is divisible by either 4 or 6?
True or False? In counting combinations, order matters. In counting permutations, order matters. For a set of n distinct object, the number of different combinations of these object is more than the number of different permutations. If we have a set with five distinct objects, then the number of different ways of choosing two members of this set is the same as the number of ways of choosing three members.
