Apply each of the four counting/sampling methods (with replacement and with ordering, without replacement and with ordering, without replacement and without ordering, and with replacement and without ordering) to a unique situation that correspond to your interests or your studies. For each of your four example situations, note the value of n, the value of k, and the total number of possible combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will illustrate this solution with a unique birthday party situation between Jane (the celebrant) and her 10 friends.

In the said party , we will assume that Jane only has 5 chocolates to share among her friends

i. Assuming that the 5 chocolates are of the same type, if she doesn't want to give any friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation here is said to be WITHOUT REPLACEMENT & UN-ORDERED

n = 10 and k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

ii. Assuming that the 5 pieces of chocolate are of the same type and she is willing to give a friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITH REPLACEMENT & UN-ORDERED

n = 10 and k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

iii. Assuming that the 5 pieces of chocolate are of different types and she isn't willing to give any friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITHOUT REPLACEMENT & ORDERED

n = 10 & k = 5

Total number of possible combinations becomes,

iv. Assuming the the 5 pieces of chocolate are of different types, if she is willing to give a friend more than one piece of chocolate, the situation is said to be WITH REPLACEMENT & ORDERED

n = 10 AND k = 5

Total number of combinations becomes

Sampling with replacement means that one friend can be sampled more than once i.e: A friend receives a piece of chocolate more than once

The order dictates how the sampling is applied.

both equations and proportions are better.
