Discrete Math

answer question 2 only

1) You have 10 identical snails you want to feed to your 4 starfish (named SFA, SFB, SFC, and SFD).

a. One way to distribute the snails is to give 3 snails to SF-A, 2 snails to SF-B, 0 snails to SF-C, and 5 snails to SF-D. How would you represent this outcome as a stars-and-bars diagram?

b. How many ways are there to distribute the snails all together? Briefly explain.

c. How many ways could you distribute the snails provided that SF-A or SF-B (or both) get more than 2 snails? Briefly explain. (Hint: Starfish love snails as much as pie.)

2) What if the snails in the previous question were NOT identical? How many ways can you distribute the snails to the starfish (giving each starfish all of their snails at the same time, not in any particular order)? Explain your answer and why it makes sense that it is larger than the answer to part (b) above.

This question is worth 10 marks. You are comparing the sizes of cat’s eye snails, Lunella smargada, inside and outside a Rāhui (reserve where fishing is banned) in Kaikōura. Cat’s eye snails are a delicacy, but only the largest snails are taken to be eaten. You therefore expect that the population of snails in the Rāhui will be larger on average than snails from outside the Rāhui. You have size data (shell diameter in mm) from 200 snails in the...
