Here's the Solution to this Question

(a) Exactly three 0s means other digits are always one, so the number of permutations would be equal to \frac{14!}{(14-3)!}=14\cdot13\cdot12=2184 . Answer is 2184.


(b) Since it's a bit string of 14 digits and there can be only digits 0 or 1, we need to select 7 0s and the rest would be 7 1s, so the number of permutations would be equal to \frac{14!}{(14-7)!}=14\cdot13\cdot12\cdot...\cdot8=17297280 . The answer is 17297280.


(c) The answer would be similar to question a, but here the rest of the digits can be either 0 or 1, so it would have to be multiplied by 2^{11} because there 11 digits and each one of them can be either of two choices. 2184\cdot2^{11}=4472832 . Answer is 4472832.
