Problem #1
\n" ); document.write( "A group of 7 workers decides to send a delegation of 2 to their supervisor to discuss their greivances.
\n" ); document.write( "a) how many delegations are possible?
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 7C2 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b)If it is decided that a particular worker must be in the delegation, how many different delegations are possible?
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 1*6 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "c)IF there are 2 women and 5 men in the group, how many delegations would include at least 1 woman?
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: # of at least 1 woman pairs = # of pairs - # of 2 man pairs
\n" ); document.write( "# of at least 1 woman pairs = 21 - 5C2 = 21-10 = 11
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Problem #2
\n" ); document.write( "A television commercial for Little Caesars
\n" ); document.write( "pizza announced that with the purchase of two pizzas, one
\n" ); document.write( "could receive free any combination of up to five toppings
\n" ); document.write( "on each pizza. The commercial shows a young child waiting
\n" ); document.write( "in line at Little Caesars who calculates that there are
\n" ); document.write( "1,048,576 possibilities for the toppings on the two pizzas.* \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. Verify the child’s calculation. Use the fact that Little
\n" ); document.write( "Caesars has 11 toppings to choose from. Assume that the
\n" ); document.write( "order of the two pizzas matters; that is, if the first pizza
\n" ); document.write( "has combination 1 and the second pizza has combination
\n" ); document.write( "2, that is different from combination 2 on the first pizza
\n" ); document.write( "and combination 1 on the second.
\n" ); document.write( "# of combinations on one pizza = 11C1+11C2+11C3+11C4+11C5 = 1023
\n" ); document.write( "# of combinations on the two pizza = 1023*1023 = 1,046,529
\n" ); document.write( "If order makes a difference you get 2*1046529=2,093,058 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b. In a letter to The Mathematics Teacher, Joseph F. Heise

\n" ); document.write( "order of the two pizzas doesn’t matter.
\n" ); document.write( "Looks like 1,046,529 to me.
