1 PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Permutations and Combinations Fundamental Counting Principal A way to find the total possible something can be arranged. The lunch special at the local Greasy Spoon diner offers 3 entrees, 6 side dishes and 4 drinks. Ho A Michigan license plate consists of 3 letters (excluding O and I) followed by 4 numbers. How many different license plates are possible? PERMUTATIONS A is a selection of a group of objects in which is important. A ( ) is a product of a number and the natural numbers that are one less. 0! = 2 Ways To Do a Permutation A group 8 of marathoners in the Olympics are vying for gold, silver and bronze. How many ways can the medals be awarded? Use the FCP Use the formula - P r = n! (n r)! How many ways can a 4-digit number be formed by using only the digits 5-9 if each digit can only be used once? COMBINATIONS A is a grouping of items in which does not matter. Generally, there are ways to select items when order does not matter. How many ways can the letters A, B, and C be arranged if order matters. How many combinations of the letters A, B and C be arranged. The formula: C r = n! r!(n r)! Farmer Pete is going to butcher 3 chickens for Sunday dinner. How many groups of 3 chickens can Farmer Pete butcher out of his flock of 11?

2 Homework for Permutations and Combinations 1. An Internet code consists of one digit followed by one letter. The number zero and the letter O are excluded. How many codes are possible? 2. How many distinct songlists can you listen to 4 songs on a playlist of 12 songs? 3. How many arrangements can be made when determining the order in which each class (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors) finished in the Homecoming Float building competition? 4. A teacher will only allow 3 students to the library at a time. How many groups of 3 students can he choose out of his 25 students? 5. Pizza Larry s offers 4 different crusts, 15 different toppings and 3 different sizes. How many ways can Pizza Larry serve up a 1 topping pizza? How many different 2- topping pizzas can he serve up? How many different 3-topping pizzas can he serve up? Compare the following 6. P 3 7 C P 4 7 P C C 4 9. P C Explore and complete the following pattern: 1 1 C 1 C C 0 C 1 C C 0 C 1 C 2 C 3 C 0 0 What did you discover? Now, expand the Binomial (x + y) 4

3 PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Probability Probability is the measure of how likely an event can occur. Theoretical Probability: P(event) = # of a favorable outcome # of total possible outcomes Example: A song list has 9 dance songs and 6 slow songs on it. What is the probability that a randomly selected song will be a slow one? Rolling Dice Two dice are rolled. What is the probability: a. The sum is 10? b. The sum is 7? c. The difference is 6? Probability of a Complement If the probability of an event E is P( ), then the probability of its (not E) is: P(not E) = 1 -. Example: The game Battleship is played with 5 ships on a 100-hole grid. Using the chart below, calculate the probabilities of the first guess: Game Piece Holes Destroyer 2 Cruiser 3 Submarine 3 Battleship 4 Carrier 5 a. P(Destroyer) b. P(Submarine or Battleship) c. P(miss) Finding Probabilities Using Permutations and Combinations Example: Book-Nerd Billy received his 4-digit library code to use with the library computer. No digit repeats. Billy received the code: What was the probability that he would receive a code with consecutive digits? Decide: Permutation or Combination Find total outcomes of 4 digits from 10. Find the favorable outcomes: 0123, 1234,.. P(consecutive numbers)

4 So far, we have calculating Theoretical Probability, but, what if we actually do an experiment. # of times an event occurs Experimental Probability = # of trials Example: A card is chosen from a deck and then replaced. The following table shows the results: Suit Hearts Diamonds Clubs Spades Number a. Find the experimental probability of choosing a diamond. b. Find the experimental probability of choosing a card that is not a club. Geometric Probabilities: Find the probability of choosing a point at random inside the shaded area of this equilateral triangle. 4 in 4 in 14 in 14 in

A clerk has 4 different letters that need to go in 4 different envelopes. What is the probability that all 4 letters are placed in the correct envelopes? 4. What is the probability that a dart will hit in the shaded area? In the bullseye? A cross-country coach must pick 3 runners to run from a team of 8 to run in a big meet. What is the probability that he will choose the 3 strongest runners? 6. A radio station in Michigan is giving away a trip to anywhere in the United States that the winner wants to go.

6 PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Independent vs. Dependent Events Events are considered if the occurrence of one event does affect the probability of another. Probability of Independent Events P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) What different activities can you think of where the events are always independent of each other? What is the probability of spinning a 3 and then a 5? What is the probability of spinning an even number and then a 7? Probability of Dependent Events Events are considered if the occurrence of one event the probability of another. P(A and B) = P(A) P(A B) Two cards are drawn from a standard deck. Find the probabilities that: a. An ace is drawn, then replaced and another ace is drawn. P(Ace Ace) = b. A spade is drawn and then a Heart P(Spade Heart) =

8 Recall Pascal s Triangle: PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Binomial Distributions Converting to Combinations: Binomial Theorem A way of expanding binomials instead of using instead of Pascal s Triangle. Expand: (3p + q) 3 Binomial Experiment: An experiment where the outcome has an equal chance of being a or a. Binomial Probability: P(r) = C r n p r q n r n is the total number of trials, r is the success, p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure. Example: Ellen takes a multiple choice quiz that has 5 questions. Each question has 4 answer choices. What is the probability that Ellen gets 3 correct by guessing? Since there are 5 questions n=5 r = 3 correct answers Probability of guessing correctly - Probability of an incorrect guess What is the probability that Ellen gets at least 3 by guessing? That means P(3) + P(4) + P(5) = Example: A water machine has a 98% probability of dispensing its product. If the machine dispenses 25 bottles and hour, what is the probability that there are 23 or fewer acceptable parts? Let s calculate P(24) + P(25) and then subtract it from 1.

10 PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Two Way Tables Two types of Data: data can be described by a number, such as weight, length, age, etc. data can be organized into categories such as sex, color, etc. A - Table is a way of organizing data by two variables. Of the 300 students in the school, the number who went to Homecoming Went to Homecoming Did not Go Males Females Joint Relative Frequencies - Take each value and divide it by the total number (in this case, 300) Went to Homecoming Did not Go Total Males Females Total Marginal Relative Frequencies Found by adding each row across and each column down. Example: Tardy Ted is trying to decide on the best possible route to school. He has a choice of 3 routes. On each day, he randomly selects a route and keeps track of whether he is late or not. After a 40 day trial, his notes look like this: Late Not Late Route A 4 10 Route B 3 7 Route C 4 12 Create a table of Joint and Marginal Relative Frequencies. Late Not Late Total Route A Route B Route C Total 1 Find: P(Being late using Route A) P(Being late using Route B) P(Being late using Route C)

12 PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Compound Events A event describes just a single outcome. A event is made up of two or more simple events. events are events that cannot occur in the same trial of an experiment. Mutually Exclusive Events PRE-CALCULUS PROBABILITY UNIT Two Way Tables Event A Event B Mutually Exclusive Events P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) Example: Pepsi is running a prize contest on the caps of the bottles.
