Respuesta :

The number of ways he can distribute 4 ones into 5 groups is 120 ways.

Permutation

Permutation has to do with the arrangement. For instance, to distribute "r" values into "n" groups, this can be calculated as:

  • nPr = n!/(n-r)!

Hence for you to distribute 4 ones into 5 groups, we will use the formula above to have:

5P4 = 5!/(5-4)!

5P4 = 5!/1!

5P4 = 5!

5P4 =120 ways

Hence the number of ways he can distribute 4 ones into 5 groups is 120 ways.
