Answer:

1) 1 element

2) 13 elements

3) 22 elements

4) 40 elements

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Only one element will have no tails: the event that all the coins are heads.

2) 13 elements will have exactly one tile. Basically you have one element in each position that you can put a tail in.

3) There are {13 \choose 2} = 78 elements that have exactly 2 tails. From those elements we have to remove the only element that starts and ends with a tail and in the middle it has heads only and the elements that starts and ends with a head and in the 11 remaining coins there are exactly 2 tails. For the last case, there are {11 \choose 2} = 55 possibilities, thus, the total amount of elements with one tile in the border and another one in the middle is 78-55-1 = 22

4) We can have:

  • A pair at the start/end and another tail in the middle (this includes a triple at the start/end)
  • One tail at the start/end and a pair in the middle (with heads next to the tail at the start/end)

For the first possibility there are 2 * 11 = 22 possibilities (first decide if the pair starts or ends and then select the remaining tail)

For the second possibility, we have 2*9 = 18 possibilities (first, select if there is a tail at the end or at the start, then put a head next to it and on the other extreme, for the remaining 10 coins, there are 9 possibilities to select 2 cosecutive ones to be tails).

This gives us a total of 18+22 = 40 possibilities.

We know the number of faces and vertices of the solid and we have to calculate the number of edges.We have : F = 16 and V = 14.The formula is:F - E + V = 216 - E + 14 = 216 + 14 - 2 = EE = 30 - 2E = 28Answer: The solid has 28 edges.
