Question 609564: Suppose in a competition 11 matches are to be played, each having one of 3 distinct outcomes as possibilities.?
The number of ways one can predict the outcomes of all 11 matches such that exactly 6 of the predictions turn out to be correct is
a) 11C6 * 2^5;
b) 11C6;
c) 3^6;
d) None of the above...
I think first option is correct assuming 3 outcomes but if we take two outcomes: right or wrong then option 2 also looks correct.
