A) 15 B) 42
C) 16 D) 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 42

The number of outcomes in which 2 coins turn heads is6C2=15 

The number of outcomes in which 3 coins turn heads is6C3=20

Q:

Eight first class and six second class petty officers are on the board of the 56 club. In how many ways can the members elect, from the board, a president, a vice-president, a secretary, and a treasurer if the president and secretary must be first class petty officers and the vice-president and treasurer must be second class petty officers?

A) 1500 B) 1860
C) 1680 D) 1640
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1680

Explanation:

Since two of the eight first class petty officers are to fill two different offices, we write 8P2=56

 

Then, two of the six second class petty officers are to fill two different offices; thus, we write 6P2 =30

 

The principle of choice holds in this case; therefore, the members have 56 x 30 = 1680 ways to select the required office holders
