I. Analyze each problem well and supply what is asked in each item.

1) One digit is chosen from the digits 0 through 9. The sample space S is { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. List
the elements in the following events.

a) The number is odd {1,3,5,7,9 }


b) The number is divisible by 3 {3,6,9}
c) The number is greater than 7 {8,9}

2) A die is tossed then a coin is flipped. Find the sample space and determine the elements in the
sample space. Apply counting using a table.

1 2 3 4 5 6
H H1 H2 H3 H4 H5 H6
T T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6

3) Choose a complete dinner from a dinner menu that allows a customer to choose from two salads,
three entrees and two desserts. List the elements of the sample space. Apply counting by using a tree-
diagram. D1 = S1 T1 D1

T1 D2 = S1 T1 D2

D 1= S1 T2 D1
S1 T2
D2 = S1 T2 D2

T3 D1= S1 T3 D1
D2 = S1 T3 D2

D 1 = S2 T1 D 1
T1
D 2 = S2 T1 D 2
D 1 = S2 T2 D 1
S2 T2
D2 = S2 T2 D2
D1 = S2 T3 D1
T3

D2 = S2 T3 D2

II. Use the Counting Principle to solve each problem below.

1) In how many ways can the letters h, o, n, e, s, t, y be arranged without repetition of any letter?
7! = 7●6●5●4●3●2●1 = 5040

2) How many five-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 if repetition is
allowed?
8●8●8●8●8 = 32768

3) There are 5 red, 4 blue and 7 black pens in a box. If one selects a pen from each color, how many
ways can the selection be done if no replacement is allowed?
5 x 4 x 7 = 140
4 x3 x 6 = 72
3 x 2 x5 = 30
2x1x4=8
1x0x3=0
0x0x2=0
0x0x1=0
250 ways

4) In a deck of 52 cards, how can a face card and a number card be drawn if replacement is allowed?
(Note: Ace is not a face card nor a number card)

12 X 36 = 432

5) In a container are found 8 flash drives, 5 units of optical mouse, and 7 earphones. If one chooses,
an optical mouse, 2 flash drives and 2 earphones, how many ways can he do it if replacement is not
allowed?
8C2 x 5 x 7C2 = 2940
7C2 x4 X 6C2= 1260
6C2 x3 X 5C2= 450
5C2 x2 X 4C2 =120
4C2 x1 X 3C2 = 18
4788
