Kathy wants to paint the faces of her standard six-sided die so that each face is either red or blue. However, she does not want all of the faces to be the same color. How many ways are there for Kathy to paint her die?

The number of ways Kathy can paint her die is 52 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutation and combination related question is answered as follows;

The number of faces in the six-sided die = 6

The number of colors available for painting the six-sided die = 2 colors

Therefore, we have, the total number of ways Kathy can paint her die, 'n', given as follows;

n = ₆P₂ + 2₄P₄ + 2₄P₃ + ₄P₂

Where;

₆P₂ = The number of ways of arranging 2 objects in 6 spaces = 30

₄P₄ = The number of ways of arranging 4 objects in 4 spaces = 1

₄P₃ = The number of ways of arranging 3 objects in 4 spaces = 4

₄P₂ = The number of ways of arranging 2 objects in 4 spaces = 12

∴ n = 30 + 2×1 + 2×4 + 12 = 52

The number of ways Kathy can paint her die, n = 52 ways.
