2. (6 pts.) Student Engineers Council at a California university has one student representative from each of the five engineering majors (civil, electrical, industrial, materials, and mechanical). In how many ways can Both a council president and a vice president be selected? A president, a vice president, and a secretary be selected? Two members be selected for the President’s Council?

(a) There are 20 ways to  select both a council president and a vice president.

(b) There are 60 ways to  select both a president, a vice president, and a secretary.

(c) There are 10 ways to select two members for the President’s Council.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the five engineering majors have one student representative at the Student Engineers Council at a California university.

(a)

Compute the number of ways to select both a council president and a vice president as follows:

As order of selection is important, the number of ways to select both a council president and a vice president is:

Thus, there are 20 ways to  select both a council president and a vice president.

(b)

Compute the number of ways to select president, a vice president, and a secretary as follows:

Again as the order of selection is important, the number of ways to select both a president, a vice president, and a secretary is:

Thus, there are 60 ways to  select both a president, a vice president, and a secretary.

(c)

Now for two members for the President's Council are to be selected.

As the order of selection is not important, two members can be selected in:

Thus, there are 10 ways to select two members for the President’s Council.

a mantle plume is an upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the earth's mantle. as the heads of mantle plumes can partly melt when they reach shallow depths, they are thought to be the cause of volcanic centers known as hotspots and probably also to have caused flood basalts.
