Answer:

a) 1470 ways

b) 2835 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not correct, in the correct question The number of independents should be 3 not 2

there are 7 republicans, 10 democrats and 3 independents.

C(n,r) is the number of different combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

a) it will consist of 1 Republican and 4 Democrats

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,1) × C(10,4) = \frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 7 × 210 = 1470 ways

(b) it will consist of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents (consist of 2 independents not 3)

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,2) × C(10,2) × C(2,2)

 =\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!}* \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!} = 21 × 45 × 3 = 2835 ways

Does the graph above have an Hamiltonian circuit, Hamiltonian path, or neither? Paths and Circuits Help
Hatshy [7]

a. Only a Hamiltonian path

One such path is

1 → 2 → 0 → 4 → 3

which satisfies the requirement that each vertex is visited exactly once.

There is no Hamiltonian circuit, however, since it is impossible for any Hamiltonian path on this graph to visit vertex 0 exactly once.
