Answer: 24 schedules.

Explanation:

Given data:

Courses planning to take = 4

Computer courses = 2

Courses from other areas = 2

Solution:

This problem can be solved using permutation.

For Computer science courses.

npr = n! / ( n - r )!

Where n = 4

r = 2

4p2 = 4!/( 4-2)!

= 4!/2!

= 12

For other courses.

Where n = 4

r = 2

4p2 = 4!/( 4-2)!

= 4!/2!

= 12

Jane can have a total of 24 different schedules.
