**Title: Permutations, Combinations, and License Plate Problem**

**1. Tree Diagram for Arrangements**

Use a tree diagram to list all possible arrangements of the letters \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\).

**2. License Plate Combinations**

If a license plate consists of 3 letters followed by 3 digits, how many license plates are possible if the first letter cannot be \(O\) or \(I\)?

**Evaluate the Following Permutations and Combinations:**

4. \( P(7, 5) \)

5. \( P(6, 4) \)

6. \( P(100, 2) \)

7. \( C(50, 2) \)

8. \( C(7, 4) \)

9. \( C(13, 11) \)

**Explanation:**

- **Permutations** \( P(n, r) \) represent the number of ways to arrange \( r \) elements out of a set of \( n \) elements.

- **Combinations** \( C(n, r) \) represent the number of ways to choose \( r \) elements from a set of \( n \) elements without regard to the order. 

This exercise involves understanding the concept of permutations and combinations and applying them to solve real-world problems such as determining the number of unique license plates that can be created under certain constraints.
