Chapter 12.2, Problem 38E
Assume that we wish to seat three men and three women—Alex, Bonnie, Carl, Daria, Edith, and Frank—in a row of six chairs. Answer Exercises 35–38 using the fundamental counting principle. To apply this principle, first identify the separate tasks involved in making the seating arrangements.
Counting seating arrangements. In how many ways can we seat these people if all the women must sit together but no woman sits on an end seat?

The basic blood types are represented by letters: A, B, AB, and O. There is also an Rh factor represented by either positive or negative. If a local blood bank labels donations according to type, Rh factor, and gender (Male or Female), how many different ways can a blood sample be labeled?
a. How many different blood types are there?
b. How many Rh Factors are possible?
c. How many different genders are listed?
d. Using the Fundamental Counting Principle, how many different ways can a blood sample be labeled?
In triathlons, it is common for racers to be placed into age and gender groups. Friends Leo and Mary both completed the Hermosa Beach Triathlon, where Leo competed in the Men, Ages, 30-34 groups while Mary competed in the Women, Ages 25-29 groups. Leo competed the race in 1:22:28 (4948 seconds), while Mary competed the race in 1:31:53 (5513 seconds). Obviously Leo finished faster, but they are curious about how they did within their respective groups. Can you help them? Here is some information on the performance of their groups:
● The finishing times of the Men, Ages 30-34 group has a mean of 4313 seconds with a standard deviation of 583 seconds.
● The finishing times of the Women, Ages, 25-29 groups has a mean of 5261 seconds with a standard deviation of 807 seconds.
●The distribution of finishing times for both groups are approximately Normal.
Remember: a better performance corresponding to a faster finish.
