Question

The traffic that makes a left turnat an intersection consists of two types of vehicles, Type A andB.  A type A vehicle is twice the length of the type B. THe left turn lane can accommodate ten vehicles of type B, five oftype A.  List the set of all possible combinations of vehicleswaiting for a left turn at the intersection.

Is this a conditional problem, because the number of available slots depends on the number of type A vehicles selected?  Is there a formula or something I am missing.  All we have learned so far is the general combination and permutation formulas and I don't see how I can solve this with just those.  Please help.

Explanation / Answer

I have a similar question but the number of cars is 8. Everything else is the same. My prof. marked mine wrong and said the sample space consists of 24.
