in how many ways can the four call letters of a radio station be arranged if the first letter must be W or K and no letters repeat?

Respuesta :

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, it is found that there are 27,600 ways for the letters to be arranged.

What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with [tex]n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n[/tex] ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

[tex]N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n[/tex]

For this problem, considering that the first letter can only be 2 of them and the letters cannot repeat, the parameters are given as follows:

[tex]n_1 = 2, n_2 = 25, n_3 = 24, n_4 = 23[/tex]

Hence the number of ways that the letters can be arranged is given by:

N = 2 x 25 x 24 x 23 = 27,600.
