Seven switches with 3 stages each |
2015-09-15 |
|
From jeff:
We are trying to solve a combination problem. If I have 7 things that can be in 3 states (say on/partially on/off), and all 7 have to a state. How many different combinations can there be? It doesn't seem like we should treat it as 21 independent things, but not sure how to break the problem apart.

From Kristen:
Explain the three different scenarios that could occur and would result in the following number of outcomes when 6 items are taken 3 at a time. Give real-life examples.
a. 63 = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 possibilities
b. 6! / (6 - 3)! = 6 x 5 x 4 = 120 possibilities
c. 6! / (6 - 3)! 3! = 20 possibilities
