Fourteen graduate students have applied for four available teaching assistantships. In how many ways can these assistantships be
awarded among the applicants if One particular student must be awarded an assistantship? The group of applicants includes eight men and six women and it is stipulated that at least one woman must be awarded an assistantship?
<span>A simple combination of four selections out of 14: </span> <span> 14! / (10! 4!) = 14*13*12*11 / (4*3*2*1) </span> <span> = 7*13*11 = 1,001 </span>
<span>(b) One particular student must be awarded an assistantship? </span>
<span>That leaves 3 selections out of 13 for the other positions: </span> <span> 13! / (10! 3!) = 13*12*11 / (3*2*1) </span> <span> = 13*2*11 = 286 </span>
<span>(c) The group of applicants includes eight men and six women and it is stipulated that at least one woman must be awarded an assistantship? </span>
<span>We have the original 1,001 possibilities from part (a), minus all of those that awarded all the positions to men: </span> <span> 1,001 - 8! / (4! 4!) = 1,001 - 8*7*6*5 / (4*3*2*1) </span> <span> = 1,001 - 70 = 931

If we know that Josh edits at a rate of 1/6 of a page in three minutes... then using the Unit rule... we can determine that he edits 1 whole page 6 times longer than that. By doing that... we find that Josh edits 1 page in 18 minutes. From there... we multiply the time at which it takes him to edit one page (18 minutes) by 3 (pages) to get our answer.
