Say you’re an electrical engineer designing an electromechanical subassembly for use in a larger aircraft system. Twelve components are to be stacked into a cylindrical casing in a manner that minimizes the impact of shocks. One end of the casing is designated as the bottom, and the other end is the top. a. If all components are different, how many different design configurations are possible? b. If seven components are identical to one another, but the others are different, how many different design configurations are possible? c. If three components are of one type and identical to each other, and four components are of another type and identical to each other, but the others are different, how many different design configurations are possible?
answer:
given data ,
( a ) to find the how many different design of the configurations are possible is ....?
the
probability is show in the below step by step,
here we are
know as the total is 12
now the
probability is
12!
12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1
479001600
therefore
the probability is 479001600 ways
479001600 |
( b ) to find the different design of configurations are the possible is 7 is .....?
the
probability is show in the below step by step,
here we are
know as the total is 12
now the
probability is writes as the
12! / 7!
now we are
using to the factorial formula is
n! / r!
now
substitute the values is in the above formula
12! / 7!
479001600 /
5040
95040
therefore
the probability is 95040
95040 |
( c ) to find the 3 and 4 identical components of the design configurations are possible is ..?
the
probability is show in the below step by step,
here we are
know as the total is 12
now the
probability is writes as the
12! , 3! and
4!
now we are
using to the factorial formula is
n! / r! 1*
r! 2
now
substitute the values is in the above formula
12! / 3! *
4!
479001600/ 6
* 24
479001600 /
144
3326400
therefore the probability is 3326400
