Step-by-Step Solution: Chapter: CH5.1 Problem: 1E

Step 1 of 6

(a)

Consider the word CRAB and STATISTICS

The objective is nd how many ways are there to pick a sequence of two different letters of the alphabet that
appear in above words.

Step 2 of 6

The number of possible combination of 2 letters out of 4 letters of word CRAB is .

For every possible combination, there are two ways to pick a sequence, that is take two letters C and R, so, the
possible sequence are CR and RC.

So, the number of ways to pick a sequence of two different letters is;

So, the number of ways to pick a sequence of two different letters in the word CRAB is .

Step 3 of 6

In the word STATISTICS, there are some letters which are repeating. Since the sequence of letters should contains
different letters, so, the repeated letters should be counted only once. So, the number of letters in word
STATISTICS is 5.

So, the number of possible combination of 2 letters out of 5 letters of word STATISTICS is .

For every possible combination, there are two ways to pick a sequence, that is take two letters S and T, so, the
possible sequence are ST and TS.

So, the number of ways to pick a sequence of two different letters is;

So, the number of ways to pick a sequence of two different letters is .

Step 4 of 6

(b)

Consider the word CRAB and STATISTICS

The objective is to nd how many ways are there to pick rst a vowel and then a consonant from CRAB and
STATISTICS.

Step 5 of 6

Since the number of vowel in word CRAB is 1 which is A. So, select A as rst letter in the sequence and the number
of consonant in word CRAB is 3. So, the number of ways to select the consonant is 3.

So, the number of ways to pick the sequence of 2 letters in which rst letter is a vowel and second letter is
consonant is .

Step 6 of 6

Since the number of vowels in word STATISTICS is 2 which are A and I. So, there are two choices for rst letter in
the sequence. The number of consonant in word STATISTICS is 3. So, the number of ways to select the consonant
is 3.

So, multiplication rule, the number of ways to pick the sequence of 2 letters in which rst letter is a vowel and
second letter is consonant is .
