Sequentially pick
There are 6 different tickets marked with numbers 1 to 6 in the pocket.
In how many different ways can we sequentially, taking into account the order, choose three of them, if the chosen tickets return to the pocket?

My reasoning - There are 6 different tickets. The answer implies that I can choose 3 tickets with the same number. The real answer is 6 x 5 x 4

To determine the number of ways to sequentially choose 3 tickets from 6 (with replacement and order mattering), we can use the Fundamental Counting Principle.
1. First ticket:
- There are 6 possible choices (tickets 1 through 6).
- The ticket is returned to the pocket, so the pool remains the same for subsequent choices.
2. Second ticket:
- Again, 6 possible choices (since the first ticket was returned).
3. Third ticket:
- Once more, 6 possible choices.
Since each selection is independent and order matters, we multiply the number of choices at each step:
There are
Solution:
1. First ticket:
- There are 6 possible choices (tickets 1 through 6).
- The ticket is returned to the pocket, so the pool remains the same for subsequent choices.
2. Second ticket:
- Again, 6 possible choices (since the first ticket was returned).
3. Third ticket:
- Once more, 6 possible choices.
Total number of ordered sequences:
Since each selection is independent and order matters, we multiply the number of choices at each step:
6 × 6 × 6 = 63 = 216
Final Answer:
There are
216
