1) Janice’s idea of a great vacation is to read a different mystery novel each day. She knows of 16 different ones she would like to read, but she’ll only have time for 5. How many choices does she have about which 5 books to check out of the library? Explain your reasoning.
2) Lori has a different idea of a great vacation. She is an avid biker and has bought a book with ten day-long bike trips in her area. Of course, she’ll be able to do only five of these. She needs to decide which trip to do on Monday, which to do on Tuesday, and so on. (Of course, she won’t repeat the same trip twice.) How many different schedules does she have to choose from? Explain your reasoning.
Please answer and thoroughly explain your answers, I’m not sure how to do them.
This isn’t my full homework, I did the other questions…I don’t understand how to do these though because I never had background knowledge on probability. (Don’t ask, it’s a long story)
Why can’t you explain how you got it, so I can learn how to do it?
