Question 1019577: A byte is a sequence of eight bits. A bit can be a 0 or a 1. In how many distinguishable ways can you have a byte with five 0's and three 1's? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8C3 (8 choose 3) = 8!/(5!*3!) = 56 ways. You can visualize this by selecting which 3 bits to set to 1.
