1. How many different outcomes are possible if a coin is tossed 5 times?

(examples: HTTHT, THTHT, and TTHTT are three different outcomes.)

B. 32

2. Ships of the navy of Outer Tyrania communicate at sea via code signals transmitted by

flags, as follows: each ship has six flags (the same set of six flags is on every ship); a

code is formed by choosing three flags and arranging them, from top to bottom, on the

mainmast. How many different codes are possible? Example:

"don't pull that

big plug in the differs from

bottom of the

boat"

"if you sail too

close to the

edge, you'll fall

off"

A. 120

3. A couple is expecting the arrival of a baby girl. They'll name the child by choosing a

first and middle name from this list of their favorite girls' names: Ann, Beth, Carrie,

Donna, Edna. The first name will be different from the middle name. (Example: Ann

Beth, Beth Ann, and Edna Beth are three different names. Beth Beth is not a valid

name.) How many different names are possible?

C. 20

4. Ships of the navy of Inner Tyrania communicate at sea via a method similar to the one

described in #2 above, except: each ship has seven flags, and the code is determined

exclusively by the 3 flags chosen, and not by the order in which they are arranged on the

mast. How many different codes are possible?

A. 35

5. There are 8 teams in a football conference. Each team must play all of the other teams

one time. How many games will be played?

6. Al, Beth, Chuck, Dora, and Ed have won 3 tickets to the opera. They will randomly

choose which 3 of them get to attend the performance. How many different 3-person

groups are possible? (Note: you should realize that in this case, the outcome BCA, for

instance, is the same as the outcome CAB.)

A. 10

6*. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo have won 2 tickets to the opera. They

will randomly choose which two of them have to attend. How many different 2-person

groups are possible? A. 10

7. The uniform for a marching band consists of: 2 different hats, 2 different types of

9. 6 diplomats, representing 6 different nations, meet for a peace conference. At the

outset, each diplomat shakes hands once with each other diplomat. How many

handshakes occur?

D. 15

10. The ships of the navy of Middle Tyrania communicate via a method identical to that

described in #2 above, except that all six of the flags are arranged on the mast in order to

form a code. How many different codes are possible?

C. 720

11. A 'combination' lock has a dial bearing the numbers 1 through 20. How many

different 3-number 'combinations' are possible if there are no restrictions on the 3

numbers (example: 19-5-1, 5-19-1, 3-3-12 are three different, valid 'combinations').

B. 8000

12. Referring to #11 above, how many different possibilities are there if the only
restriction is that a 'combination' cannot have any repeated number (example: 5-17-5 is

not valid)?

A. 6840 B. 8000 C. 20!3! D. 20! - 3!

13. P(9,5) = the number of:

B. ways for 5 people from a group of 9 to be arranged on a bench

14. A couple is expecting the birth of a baby boy. They will name the boy by choosing a

first name and a middle name from this list of their favorite boys' names:

Billy, Bobby, Buster, Bubba. They have not ruled out the possibility that the child's first

and middle names will be the same (example: Billy Buster, Buster Billy, and Bubba

Bubba are three different, valid possibilites). How many different names are possible?

given a rabies vaccination, and yet another will be given a distemper shot. In how many

ways can the selection be made? (This means, for instance, that if Fluffy gets the
