(b) There are five different sandwiches, ten different sodas, and three different bags of chips. How many different lunch options are available if you need to order one sandwich, one soda, and one bag of chips? How many options are available if you need to order three lunches (one for you, and one for each of your two friends)?

(c) You have 10 shirts. You need seven shirts to take on a trip. How many different ways can you choose them? Once you’ve chosen the seven shirts, how many different ways can you wear them in order while on your trip? Based on the answers to the previous two questions, how many different ways can you choose seven shirts from ten total and then wear them in order? Answer the previous three questions if you have 20 shirts, 30 shirts, 40 shirts.

(d) I claim 2/3 of APSU students are women (like the Jan and Dean song- Surf City). Test my claim using the binomial test we talked about in class. You can choose your alternative hypothesis (p < 2/3, p> 2/3, or p ≠ 2/3). Use a sample of at least 50 students. Explain to me in detail what you did- how you took your sample, what your sample size was, why you chose the alternative hypothesis you did, how you computed your p-value, and state your conclusion.
