Question: Suppose a sample space has things a,b, and c. Twice, draw from the sample and replace. The possible sequences formed are (aa,ab,ac,ba,bb,bc,ca,cb,and cc). Now suppose
Suppose a sample space has things a,b, and c. Twice, draw from the sample and replace. The possible sequences formed are (aa,ab,ac,ba,bb,bc,ca,cb,and cc). Now suppose there are Y different things. There are Y ways the first draw can occur. For each of the Y ways the first draw can occur, there are Y ways the second draw can occur, resulting in Y times Y, or Y2 sequences. For each of the Y2 sequences formed from 2 draws, there are Y ways the 3rd draw can occur forming Y3 sequences. Generalizing, there are YX sequences formed by drawing X times from Y different things with replacement. Example: The number of state license plates that can be made with 3 letters followed by 3 numbers is 26x26x26x10x10x10= 263x103=17,576,000. From this one style of plate, there are many sequences.
How many sequences of 4 things can be formed from 9 different things with replacement and order is important?
