A disc jockey has 8 songs to play. Six are slow songs, and two are fast songs. Each song is to be played only once. In how many ways can the disc jockey play the 8 songs if
The songs can be played in any order.
The first song must be a slow song and the last song must be a slow song.
The first two songs must be fast songs.
Answer:
a).The songs can be played in any order slow, slow, slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, slow. = 3slow+ 1 fast; + 3 slow +1 fast = 8
b). The first song must be a slow song and the last song must be a slow
1 slow, 1fast, 1slow, 1fast, 1slow,1slow, 1slow, 1slow = 2/8 or 1/4
c) The first two songs must be fast songs.
