Explanation / Answer

(b) Given 18 students participated in a competition and 1st, 2nd places are given prizes. since the places are given, the order in which one wins is important, i.e., the case of one getting 1st and 2nd is different. so, here we apply permutation. The number of ways of selecting 2 people of 18 is 18P2 = 18*17 = 306.

(c) The number of ways of lightsaber a Padawan can make is found out by multiplication rule because all the events given are independent of each other.

Number of possibilities = 8*3*2*4*6 = 1152.

(d) Here the order in which people are selected is not important, so we apply combination and the events of selecting woman and man are independent, so we also apply multiplication rule.

Number of ways of selecting 3 women and 2 men from a group of 6 women and 11 men is = 6C3*11C2 = 20*55 = 1100
