A ternary string is an ordered string of characters which consists of digits (0,1, or 2). For example, the ternary string 2122010 consists of exactly 2 zero's, 2 one's and 3 two's; another ternary string meeting these conditions is 0021221. How many ternary strings are there with exactly 3 zero's, 3 one's and 5 two's?

The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)
Suppose that the check digit is computed as described in Example . Prove that transposition errors of adjacent digits will not be detected unless one of the digits is the check digit. Example Using Check Digits Many companies use check digits for security purposes or for error detection. For example, an the digit may be appended to a -bit identification number to obtain the -digit invoice number of the form where the th bit, , is the check digit, computed as . If congruence modulo is used, then the check digit for an identification number . Thus the complete correct invoice number would appear as . If the invoice number were used instead and checked, an error would be detected, since .
