Expert verified

Part(a) .different letter arrangements for Fluke is 120

Part(b). different letter arrangements for Propose is 1260

Part(c), different letter arrangements for Mississippi is 34650

Part(d) . different letter arrangements for Arrange is 1260

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Part( a) Given information

We have to find the different letter arrangements for Fluke

02

, Part(a). Different letter arrangements for Fluke 

In the word Fluke there are 5 different letters, then the different letter arrangement for ' the word Fluke is5!=5×4×3×2×1=120

03

Step 1.Part(b) . Given information 

we have to find different letter arrangements for Propose

04

Step 2.Part(b) . different letter arrangements  for Propose 

here are 7 seven letters in the word Propose, out of letters 2 identical letters of p and o. So to get different letter arrangements for the given word we have to divide 7! by identical word arrangements 2! and 2!. Then the different letter arrangements for the word Propose is

7!2!2!=7×6×5×4×3×2×12×1×2×'1=1260

05

Step 1.Part(c),Given  information

Here we have to find different letter arrangements for Mississippi

06

Step 2.Part(c).different letter arrangements  for Mississippi 

In the word Mississippi, there are a total of 11 letters out of 11, there are d identical i letter, 4 identical s letters, and 2 identical letters p. Then to get a different word arrangement we have to divide 11! by each identical letter arrangement, thus the different letter arrangements for the word is

11!4!×4!×2!=11×10×9×8×7×6×5×4!4×3×2×1×4!×2×1=34650

07

,Part(d). Given information

we need to find different letter arrangements for Arrange

08

Part (d). different letter arrangements  for Arrange 

in this word Arrange there are a total of 7letters, in which 2 identical letters a and 2 identical letters r are there. To get different letter arrangements we have to divide 7! by identical arrangements, then the arrangements will be

7!2!×2!=7×6×5×4×3×2!1×2×2!=1260

Consider the following combinatorial identity:

k=1nknk=n·2n-1

(a) Present a combinatorial argument for this identity by considering a set of npeople and determining, in two ways,

the number of possible selections of a committee of any size and a chairperson for the committee.

Hint:

(i) How many possible selections are there of a committee of size kand its chairperson?

(ii) How many possible selections are there of a chairperson and the other committee members?

(b) Verify the following identity for n=1,2,3,4,5:

localid="1648098528048" k=1nnkk2=2n-2n(n+1)

For a combinatorial proof of the preceding, consider a set of n people and argue that both sides of the identity represent

the number of different selections of a committee, its chairperson, and its secretary (possibly the same as the chairperson).

Hint:

(i) How many different selections result in the committee containing exactly kpeople?

(ii) How many different selections are there in which the chairperson and the secretary are the same?

(answer: n2n1.)

(iii) How many different selections result in the chairperson and the secretary being different?

(c) Now argue that

localid="1647960575612" k=1nnkk3=2n-3n2(n+3)
