    SEATWORK: COMBINATORIAL PROBLEMS

    Instructions: Read and analyze the following combinatorial problems. Write your solution on the
    space provided and box your final answer.

    1. Jones is the Chairman of a committee. In how many ways can a committee of 5 be chosen
    from 10 people given that Jones must be one of them?

    2. A special type of password consists of four different letters of the alphabet, where each
    letter is used only once. How many different possible passwords are there?

    3. A password consists of two letters of the alphabet followed by three digits chosen from 0
    to 9. Repeats are allowed. How many different possible passwords are there?

    4. An encyclopedia has eight volumes. In how many ways can the eight volumes be replaced
    on the shelf?

    5. Assuming that any arrangement of letters forms a 'word', how many 'words' of any length
    can be formed from the letters of the word SQUARE? (No repeating of letters)

    6. A restaurant offers 5 choices of appetizer, 10 choices of main meal and 4 choices of


    dessert. A customer can choose to eat just one course, or two different courses, or all
    three courses. Assuming all choices are available, how many different possible meals does
