Hi,
I am really confused and I am not sure whether I should consider this as permutations or combinations problem?
say I have five houses
for each house, I will send and agent how will test the condition of the house and he can record one of three states for the house condition, so the house's condition can be: {good, bad, unchecked}
so these are my questions:
- how many possibilities can I have for the five houses ?
- if I have 2 agents instead of one, how many possibilities can their test result in ?
- is there a formula that I can use to check this when I have more agents ?
I'll really appreciate any help
