  2. “In morse code, all characters are transmitted using a sequence of dots and dashes. How many different characters can be formed with a sequence of 4 symbols, each of which is a dot or a dash? How many can be formed with a sequence of 1, 2, or 3 symbols?”

  4. “You visited the Boston Computer museum and bought 4 different robots, one for each of your 4 cousins. When you bought the robots, you intended a specific one for each cousin. After wrapping the packages, however, you realize that you don’t know which robot is in which package. You don’t want to unwrap the packages, so you randomly assign names to the packages.

        2  characters  is 4 symbols

         1 characters  is 2 symbols
         .   -
