Answer:

The number of ways of selection of 3 items taking 2 at a time in addition to the possible ways in which each girl selects the same style is 9 different ways. Since the list contains 9 different ways in which each of them can select a style, the list is complete.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the number of ways the available styles can be arranged between each girl is given by the number of permutation of 3 items, taking two at a time plus the number of possible selections where both of them select the same style as follows

We note that the formula for permutation is

[tex]_n[/tex]P[tex]_r[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

Therefore ā‚ƒPā‚‚ = [tex]\frac{3!}{(3-2)!}[/tex] = 6 different ways

The number of possible selections where both of them select the same style is given by

(T, T), (s, s), (L, L) = 3 different ways

Total number of ways = 6 + 3 = 9 ways

Number of different ways available in the list = 9 ways

Therefore the list is complete
