Expert Solution
To determine
The number of different 7-place license plates.
Answer to Problem 1.1P
19656000
Explanation of Solution
Given:
First 2 places are for letters.
Other 5 places are for numbers.
No letter or number can be repeated in a single license plate.
Calculation:
As there can be no repetition,
The first place letter has 26 options.
The second place letter has 25 options.
The third place digit has 10 options.
The fourth place digit has 9 options.
The fifth place digit has 8 options.
The sixth place digit has 7 options.
The seventh place digit has 6 options.
Applying the basic principle of counting, number of license plates will be

3. (10 points) A seven-segment display indicates a single decimal digit as a subset of lighted
segments labeled A through G as shown below, where a 1 in the table indicates that the
corresponding segment is on, and a 0 indicates it is off.
Unfortunately, the display is very dim, so that you must focus on a single segment
at a time to determine whether it is really on or off. You would like to determine the
intended displayed digit by checking the fewest possible number of segments in the worst
case. Construct a binary decision tree of minimum height representing your algorithm,
labeling:
each internal vertex with a letter A through G indicating which segment to check.
each edge with a 0 (left) or 1 (right) indicating the state of…

Alice is hiking with her three younger brothers, Bob, Charlie, and David, and all four must get across a rope bridge. None of the brothers can cross without the help of their sister, and Alice can only escort at most one brother across at a time. Furthermore, Bob and Charlie will fight if left unsupervised (i.e., if Alice is on one side of the bridge with Bob and Charlie on the other), and Charlie and David will also fight if left unsupervised. The problem is to find a sequence of crossings that gets all four siblings from one side of the bridge to the other.
