in how many different ways can a person gathering data for a market research organization select three of the 20 households living in a certain apartment complex if:
a) A person cares about the order in which the households are selected.
20P3 = 20!/(20-3)! = 20!/17! = 20*19*17 = 6840 ways
-------------------------
b) A person does not care about the order in which the households are selected.
20C3 = 20!/[17!*3!] = (20*19*18)/(1*2*3) = 1140
-----------------------------------------------
c) In how many ways can two paintings by Monet, three paintings by Renoir , and two paintings by Degas be hung side by side on a museum wall if do not distinguish between the paintings by the same artists?
Ans:: 7!/(2!*3!*2!) = 210
