Combinatorics - math word problems - page 35 of 51
Combinatorics is a part of mathematics that investigates the questions of existence, creation and enumeration (determining the number) of configurations.It deals with two basic tasks:
How many ways can we select certain objects
How many ways can we arrange certain objects

- Hockey Championships
At the 2021 World Hockey Championships, there are eight teams in Group A, each playing seven matches. There are 4 points for each team to gain points (3-2-1-0), but it is always paired with the opponent's points ( 0-1-2-3). How many points are there possi - Hockey
The hockey match ended 7:4. How many different matches could be? - Four digit codes
Given the digits 0-7. If repetition is not allowed, how many four-digit codes that are greater than 2000 and divisible by 4 are possible? - Cancer in woman population
In a particular population of women, 40% have had breast cancer, 20% are smokers, and 13% are smokers and have had breast cancer. If a woman is selected at random from the population, what is the probability that she has breast cancer, smokes, or both?
