In how many ways can 8 students be assigned to 2 triple and 1 double

hotel rooms during a conference?

Number of ways to choose 3 students in the triple = 7C3 = 7! / 3!4! = 35


Number of ways to choose 2 out of the remaining 4 students = 4C2 = 4!/ 2!2!
=6
Number of ways to choose 2 students out of the remaining two students =
1
Total number of arrangements = 35 × 6 × 1 = 210.
a teacher asked the student to read 60 pages of a novel eight student
have completed only 32,35,37,30,33,36,34,and 34 pages find standard
deviation of pages yet to be completed by them
A box contains 90 discs which are numbered from 1 to 90. If one disc is drawn at random
from the box, find the probability that it bears (i) a two digit number

et E be the event of drawing a disc from the box of discs numbered from 1 to 90
Two digit numbers from 1 to 90=10,11,12,.....,90
No. of favorable outcomes=81
Total no. of possible outcomes =90
We know that, Probability P(E) =(Total no.of possible outcomes)/(No.of favorable outcomes)=90/81
=10/9
Therefore, the probability of a two digit numbered disc from the box of discs numbered
from 1 to 90=10/9
A player tosses two wins. He wins Rs 10 if 2 heads appear, Rs 5 if 1 head appears
and Rs 2 if no head appears. Find the expected winning amount and variance of the

When a coin is tossed twice,
the sample space is S = {HH, HT, TH, HH}
Let X denote the amount he wins.
Then X takes values 10, 5, 2.
P(X = 10) = P(2 heads appear) = ¼
P(X = 5) = P(1 head appears) = 2/4 = 1/2
P(X = 2) = P(no head appears) = 1/4
