Question

Suppose that 4 freshman, 5 sophomore, and 4 juniors have been nominated to receive a scholarship of $500, $250, and $100. How many distributions of the three scholarship are possible if one scholarship is to be awarded to someone from each class

Answer 1

80 distributions of the three scholarship are possible.

Explanation:

Given that 4 freshman, 5 sophomore, and 4 juniors have been nominated to receive a scholarship of $ 500, $ 250, and $ 100, to determine how many distributions of the three scholarship are possible if one scholarship is to be awarded to someone from each class you must perform the following calculation:

4 x 5 x 4 = X

20 x 4 = X

80 = X

Therefore, 80 distributions of the three scholarship are possible.
