Find the number of ways that 6 teachers can be assigned to 4 sections of an introductory psychology course if no teacher is assigned to more than one section. Use this problem but answer in the context of the following two scenarios: (a) The section numbers, classrooms, and meeting times, etc. have been determined (i.e., the four sections are distinguishable). Find the number of teacher assignments in this case. (b) The four sections are indistinguishable, because the details have not been determined yet. Find the number of teacher assignments. In other words, whom among the six teachers will teach a section? (Hint: Part (a) and (b) ask you to think about when to use the permutation formula and the combination formula.)

A student who is a Senior, has the following grading scheme and grades in a hypothetical Quantitative Reasoning course: Homework, Quizzes, Class Participation and Attendance are worth 25% Exam 1 is worth 20% Exam 2 is worth 20% Final exam is worth 35% Just before the final, she has earned the following grades (all out of 100): Homework grades: 100, 94.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 75, 100, 0, 84, 0 Exam 1: 100 Exam 2: 95 What is her homework average? What percent of the entire semester's grading has been completed so far? What is her course grade average for that work? What is the highest grade she can earn in the course if she is able to score 100 on the final? But wait! There is a 10 point BONUS on the exam. Suppose she scores 110. What is her grade then? The University scoring scale is as follows: A: 93 to 100; A– : 90 to 93, B+: 87 to 90 B: 83 to 87 B– : 80 to 83 C+ : 77 to 80, C: 73 to 77 C – : 70 to 73 D+: 67 to 70 D: 63 to 67 D– : 60 to 63, F: below 60.
