Question

Suppose that a group of 10 students are to be assigned to four dorm rooms: a single, a double, a triple and a quad. How many ways are there are making the assignments? Choose the best answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of ways to select all sstudent to make assignment = 10×36×70×1 = 25200

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given number of students = 10

These 10 students are assigned to four dorm rooms a single, a double, a triple and a quad

So number of ways to assigned single student $=^{10}C_1=\frac{10!}{1!9!}=10$

Now left student = 10 -1 = 9

So number of ways to assigned double student $=^{9}C_2=\frac{9!}{2!7!}=36$

Now left student = 9-2 = 7

So number of ways to assigned triple student $=^{7}C_3=\frac{7!}{2!4!}=$=70

Now left student = 7 - 3 = 4

So number of ways to assigned quad student $=^{4}C_4=\frac{4!}{4!0!}=1$

So total number of ways to select all sstudent to make assignment = 10×36×70×1 = 25200
