- Question: A science educator assigns 7 unique digital badgesâ3 for Robotics, 2 for Coding, and 2 for Data Scienceâto students over a week, one badge per day. If the badges within each category are indistinguishable, how many distinct daily sequences can be created?
- Solution: We are arranging 7 badges where 3 are identical Robotics (R), 2 are identical Coding (C), and 2 are identical Data Science (D). The number of distinct sequences is the multinomial coefficient:
- $ 7! = 5040 $
- $ 3! = 6 $, $ 2! = 2 $, so denominator = $ 6 imes 2 imes 2 = 24 $
- rac{5040}{24} = 210
