Answer:
[tex]8.19 \times 10^{4}[/tex] different playlists are possible
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the songs are played is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
6 songs, so 2 reggae(from a set of 5), 2 hip hop(from a set of 15) and 2 blues(from a set of 13). So
[tex]T = C_{5,2}C_{15,2}C_{13,2} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} \times \frac{15!}{2!13!} \times \frac{13!}{2!11!} = 10*105*78 = 81900[/tex]
In scientific notations:
4 digits after the first, which is 8, so:
[tex]8.19 \times 10^{4}[/tex] different playlists are possible
