Question statement

A randomised string of $\var{n}$ digits is made using only the non-zero digits $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9$ .

When each digit is chosen independently, the number of ways to choose the string is just the product of the number of ways to choose each of the digits.

# of ways to choose string = $\displaystyle \prod\limits_{i=1}^{\var{n}}$ (# ways to choose $i$ th digit).

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

(a) # of ways to choose string $=$ $\displaystyle \prod\limits_{i=1}^{\var{n}}$ (# ways to choose $i$ th digit) $=$ $\displaystyle \prod\limits_{i=1}^{\var{n}} 9 = {9^\var{n} }$ .

(b) # of ways to choose string $=$ (# of ways of choosing an even digit) $\times$ (# of ways of choosing an odd digit) $\times \displaystyle \prod\limits_{i=3}^{\var{n}}$ (# ways to choose a digit less than $\var{b}$ ) $=$ $4 \times 5 \times {\var{b-1}^\var{n-2}}$ .

(c) # of ways to choose string $=$ (# of ways of placing the 9s) $\times$ (# of ways of placing the remaining digits) $=$ ${C(\var{n},\var{c})}\times 8^\var{n-c}$ .
