## Lösungsvorschlag von Gittenburg

--Gittenburg 22:16, 12. Okt. 2019 (CEST)

Car licence plates

a) $26^3 \cdot 10^3 = 17,576,000$

b) $1 \cdot 2 \cdot 26 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 1 = 5,200$

Symphony orchestra program

a) $30 \cdot 15 \cdot 9 = 4,050$

b) $30 \cdot 15 \cdot 9 \cdot 3! = 24,300$

c) $\binom{54}3 \cdot 3! = \frac{54!}{3! \cdot 51!} \cdot 3! = 54 \cdot 53 \cdot 52 = 148,824$
