Answer:

at least 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>If the question was similar to the one given below </em></u>

A researcher plans to identify each participant in a certain medical experiment with a code consisting of either a single letter or a pair of distinct letters written in alphabetical order. What is the least number of letters that can be used if there are 12 participants, and each participant is to receive a different code?

<em><u>The answer would be as follows</u></em>

If we use 3 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

4C2= 6 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 4 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

5C2= 10 ways to use these letters and the comma

If we use 5 letters or any distinct letter as a comma such that 2 are in alphabetical order then we would get

6C2= 15 ways to use these letters and the comma

We need the least number of the alphabets to assign codes to 12 participants.

So the least number of alphabets is 5 because it can give codes to at least to  12 people .

Pair of alphabets + distinct letter ≥ 12

5 + 1  ≥ 12

6c2  ≥ 12

15  ≥ 12

HELP PLEASE ITS THE ONLY QUESTION I NEED!!

Because the order doesn't matter on where each person sits use the combinations formula:

C = n! / (r!(n-r)!)

Where n is the total number of people and r is the number of chairs.


C = 6! / (4!(6-4)!)

C = (6*5*4*3*2*1) / ((4*3*2*1(2*1))

C = 720 / (24*2)

C = 720 / 48

C = 15


There are 15 different arrangements.
