A bag of coins contains nine pennies, six nickels, four dimes, and three quarters. Assuming that the coins of any one denomination are identical, in how many ways can 10 coins be selected? The answer is C(13,3) - C(3,3) - C(6,3) - C(8,3) - C(9,3) + C(4,3) I just have no idea where to start. Thanks!
need help in this 2. A new company John’s Recruitment Hub was recently established. In the first month, it was able to recruit 1 new employee. In the second month, it was able to recruit 2 more, and so on, with n new recruits made in nth month. Assume that everyone stays with the company. A. How many employees will be there at the end of the 3rd year? B. Find the number of recruits at the end of the nth month. Give both the recurrence relation and the explicit (closed form) formula. Write expressions in their simplest form.
In the video game WarWalker, you can pick up a gun that shoots three silver bullets at once, which simultaneously kills three zombie soldiers. You're being chased by 11 zombies when you pick up the gun. How many ways can the first three zombies of the 11 be hit with the three-way gun? (Assume they're equally close and it doesn't matter which order you hit the zombie soldiers.)
Each of us has an ABO blood type. We get this blood type by inheriting two alleles-one from our mother and one from our father. Each of these alleles can be A, B, or O and the combination of the two that we inherit determines our blood type. The table below explains the combinations of alleles and the blood types those combinations produce. Blood Type Alleles Inherited A and A A and B A and O B and B B and O O and O A AB A B B O Harper has alleles A and O (therefore blood type A) and Taylor has alleles A and B (therefore blood type AB). On your own paper, fill in the chart of the possible combinations of alleles that their children could inherit: allele from Taylor A B allele from Harper A O Then list the possible blood types their children can have and the probabilities of each type.
Q3. A project manager must select four analysts from her group to write four different software functions. There are 4 junior and 5 senior analysts in her group. The first and fourth functions can be written by any of the analysts. The second function must be written by a senior person and the third function must be written by a junior person. How many ways are there for her to assign the analysts to the functions if no person can be assigned to more than one function?

One morning Dave an email message to Alvin that said the following: “You are one of my dearest friends. If you care about me, send a copy of this letter to two of your dearest friends tomorrow. If you do not break this chain, you will live long and prosper.” Alvin followed the directions: the next day he sent a copy of the message to two of his dearest friends. The following day, each of the recipients did the same. Count the day Dave sent the original message as the first day, and assume the chain is unbroken. A. How many copies of the message will be sent on the sixth day? B. Find the n-rule that will show how many copies of the message will sent on the n-th day.
Suppose that A E Mmxn(R) is a matrix of user ratings of various movies (on a scale of 1 to 5). Suppose we have computed the SVD of А, and decided to keep the 10 largest singular values as the most important determining factors for a user's choice of movie. Suppose also that a new user has joined the movie subscription service, and has rated some, but not all, of the movies. To predict how this new user will rate other movies (and thus, to determine which ones to recommend), all movies the user has not watched are assigned the average rating for that movie given by all users to form a new matrix A' E M(m+1)xn(R), and the rank-10 approximation of A' is computed from its SVD. The values in the approximation to A' are taken as the predicted ratings for the new user. Given this procedure, which of the following conclusions is most correct?
