Suppose that you had infinitely many people, each one wearing a uniquely numberedbutton: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .... You also have lots of pennies. You give each person a penny;then ask everyone to flip his or her penny at the same time. Then you ask them to shout outin order what they flipped (H for heads and T for tails). So you might hear:HHTHHTTТТHTTHTHТHTHHНННТН... orTHTTTTHTHHHTTHTHTHTTTTTHHT... and so forth.Consider the set of all possible outcomes of their flipping (all possible sequences of H's andT's). Does the set of possible outcomes have the same cardinality as the natural numbers?Justify your answer.

Infinitely many people and each wearing uniquely numbered butten(1,2,3.....) Now everyone flipping…

Answered: Suppose that you had infinitely many…

The kindergartners and first and second graders were talking about their favorite field trips during the school year. One of the teachers, Ms. Brewer, turned the discussion into a math lesson, and the students conducted a survey. Each child wrote down on paper which trip was his or her favorite. (Note that many children named more than one field trip as their favorite.) The survey revealed that 55 wrote down the trip to the river, 48 indicated the trip to the police station, and 38 included the trip to the hardware store. The police station and the river were chosen on 32 papers, 26 papers included both the river and the hardware store, and 22 children wrote down the police station and the hardware store on their papers. Ms. Burke counted 17 papers that included all three and one that did not list any of the three trips. How many children were surveyed? How many children wrote down the river but not the police station? How many children did not list the hardware store?

Use the following information to answer the next question Leonidas is having a party and is planning to play some great music over the dinner hour. He made a short list of 18 songs that include 10 classical songs and 8 jazz songs. Over the dinner hour it is decided that of the 18 songs, 4 classical songs and 3 jazz songs will be selected, and then arranged into an order to be played. To determine the number of potential music arrangements for the party the following expressions were created: i) 10C4 X 8C3 X 7! ii) 10P4 8P3 iii) (¹0)(3) × 5040 iv) 18P7 v) (10 x 9 x 8 x 7) × (8 × 7 × 6) vi) 11. How many of the above expressions are correct? a) 5 b) 4 (10x9x8x7) (8x7x6) X 4! 3! c) 3 x 7! d) 2
