Permutations Possible for Six Digit Ordered Sample
by: Staff

1. How many two digit numbers can be formed from the six digits?

Since this is a two digit number, write the number of choices available for the first number, and then write the number of choices available for the second number.

1st number: 6 choices available (you can choose any of the 6 numbers)

**Remember, repetition is not allowed.

2nd number: only 5 choices are available (you cannot choose the number which was used as the first number.

Number of two digit numbers possible = (# of choices for first number) * (#number of choices for second number)

Number of two digit numbers possible = 6 * 5

>>> Number of two digit numbers possible = 30 numbers

2. How many of these two digit numbers are less than 80?

The first number must be less than 8

There are 5 choices available for the first number.

There are also 5 choices available for the second number (not 6 choices, only 5 choices because repetition is not allowed.

Number of two digit numbers possible which are less than 80 = (# of choices for first number) * (#number of choices for second number)

Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 = 5 * 5

>>> Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 = 25 numbers

3. How many of these numbers are even?

To answer this question, start with the second number.

The second number must be an even number. There are only 3 choices: 2, 4, or 6.

Since repetition is not allowed, there are only 4 choices available for the first number.: 5 - 1 = 4

Number of two digit numbers possible which are less than 80 and even = (# of choices for first number) * (#number of choices for second number)

Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and even = 4 * 3

>>> Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and even = 12 numbers

4. How many of these numbers are odd?

To answer this question, start with the second number again.

The second number must be an odd number. There are only 3 choices: 3, 5, 9.

There are only 5 potential choices available for the first number.: 2,3,4,5,6. However, since repetition is not allowed:

If the second number is 9, the first number has 5 choices (2,3,4,5,6)

Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and odd = 5 * 1 = 5

If the second number is 3 or 5, the first number has 4 choices.

Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and odd = 4 * 2 = 8

>>> Total number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and odd = 5 + 8 = 13 numbers

5. How many of these numbers are multiples of 5?

Part 2. (above) shows that there are 25 two digit numbers possible which are less than 80.

To be a multiple of 5, the Second Number has only 1 possibility: the number 5

The first number can only be filled in 5 ways: 2, 3, 4, 6

Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and multiples of 5 = 4 * 1

>>> Number of two digit numbers possible < 80 and multiples of 5 = 4

Thanks for writing.
