1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known
1)How many six letter subsets can you make if 2 are consonants and 4 are vowels.
2) There are 22 students in the student council and 4 people are to be elected. How many ways can they be elected if:
a) there must be a vice president and president
b) vice president is excluded
1)
21x21x5x5x5x5
Is there a way to do this via combinations?
2a) C(22,2) * C(2,2)
b) C(22,3) * C(2,1)
These are probably horribly wrong, but I am trying. Any help would be appreciated!
