2 Board Question 1 There are 5 Competitors in 100m final. How many ways can gold silver and bronze be awarded? Photograph of Usain Bolt running a race removed due to copyright restrictions. answer: There are 5 ways to pick the winner. Once the winner is chosen there are 4 ways to pick second place and then 3 ways to pick third place. May 27, / 29

4 Board Question a) Count the number of ways to get exactly 3 heads in 10 flips of a coin. b) For a fair coin, what is the probability of exactly 3 heads in 10 flips? 10 answer: a) We have to choose 3 out of 10 flips for heads: 3. b) There are 2 10 possible outcomes from 10 flips (this is the rule of product). For a fair coin each outcome is equally probable so the probability of exactly 3 heads is = = May 27, / 29
5 Board Question Deck of 52 cards 13 ranks: 2, 3,..., 9, 10, J, Q, K, A 4 suits: ~,, },, Poker hands Consists of 5 cards A one-pair hand consists of two cards having one rank and the remaining three cards having three other rank Example: {2~, 2, 5~, 8, K}} Question a) How many di erent 5 card hands have exactly one pair? Hint: practice with how many 2 card hands have exactly one pair. Hint for hint: use the rule of product. b) What is the probability of getting a one pair poker hand? April 22, / 22
6 Answer to board question We can do this two ways as combinations or permutations. The keys are: 1. be consistent 2. break the problem into a sequence of actions and use the rule of product. Note, there are many ways to organize this. We will break it into very small steps in order to make the process clear. Combinations approach a) Count the number of one-pair hands, where the order they are dealt doesn t matter. Action 1. Choose the rank of the pair: 13 di erent ranks, choosing 1, so 13 1 Action 2. Choose 2 cards from this rank: 4 cards in a rank, choosing 2, so 4 2 Action 3. Choose the 3 cards of di erent ranks: 12 remaining ranks, so 12 3 (Continued on next slide.) April 22, / 29
7 Combination solution continued Action 4. Choose 1 card from each of these ranks: 4 cards in each rank so answer: (Using the rule of product.) = b) To compute the probability we have to stay consistent and count combinations. To make a 5 card hand we choose 5 cards out of 52, so there are 52 = possible hands. Since each hand is equally likely the probability of a one-pair hand is / = On the next slide we redo this problem using permutations. April 22, / 29
8 Permutation approach This approach is a little trickier. We include it to show that there is usually more than one way to count something. a) Count the number of one-pair hands, where we keep track of the order they are dealt. Action 1. (This one is tricky.) Choose the positions in the hand that will 5 hold the pair: 5 di erent positions, so 2 Action 2. Put a card in the first position of the pair: 52 cards, so 52 ways to do this. Action 3. Put a card in the second position of the pair: since this has to match the first card, there are only 3 Action 4. Put a card in the first open slot: this can t match the pair so there are 48 Action 5. Put a card in the next open slot: this can t match the pair or the previous card, so there 44 Action 6. Put a card in the last open slot: there are 40 (Continued on next slide.) April 22, / 29
9 Permutation approach continued answer: (Using the rule of product.) = ways to deal a one-pair hand where we keep track of order. b) There are 52P 5 = = five card hands where order is important. Thus, the probability of a one-pair hand is / = (Both approaches give the same answer.) April 22, / 29
