1 Chapter 2 Math Chapter 2: Counting Methods: Solving problems that involve the Fundamental Counting Principle Understanding and simplifying expressions involving factorial notation Solving problems that involve permutations Solving problems that involve combinations Section 2.1: Counting Principles: Example 1: A toy manufacturer makes a wooden toy in three parts: Part 1: the top part may be colored red, white or blue Part 2: the middle part may be orange or black, Part 3: the bottom part may be yellow, green, pink, or purple Use a tree diagram to determine how many different colored toys can be produced:

2 Chapter 2 Math Make a conjecture about how you can use multiplication only to arrive at the number of different colored toys possible... = top middle bottom colored toys When the sample space is very large, the task of listing and counting all the outcomes in a given situation is unrealistic. The Fundamental Counting Principle helps us find the number of outcomes without counting each one. The Fundamental Counting Principle Applies when tasks are related by AND. If one task can be performed in a ways and another task can be performed in b ways, then both tasks can be completed in a b ways Example 2: Determine the number of distinguishable four letter arrangements that can be formed from the word ENGLISH if: a. letters can be repeated? b. no letters are repeated and: i) there are no further restrictions?... = ii) the first letter must be E? 1... = E

3 Chapter 2 Math Example 3: In each case, how many 3 digit whole numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5? a) Repetitions are allowed b) Repetitions are not allowed. Example 4: How many ways can 5 people stand in a line for a photo? Example 5: A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. Count the number of possibilities of drawing a single card and getting: a. either a black face card or an ace (What does or mean?, can you use the fundamental counting principle?) Can t use the fundamental counting principle because a black face card b. either a red card or a 10 and an ace is not possible on a single draw. Include the elements of the union of both sets and exclude the elements in the intersection. Needed to subtract the overlap (red 10 s) because we do not want to count them twice.

4 Chapter 2 Math In Summary: The Fundamental Counting principle applies when tasks are related by the word AND. The Fundamental Counting principle does not apply when tasks are related by the word OR. o If the tasks are mutually exclusive, they involve two disjoint sets: n(a B) = n(a) + n(b) o If the tasks are not mutually exclusive, they involve two sets that are not disjoint: n(a B) = n(a) + n(b) n(a B) Practice problems: Page #2-7,9,11,13,15,20

5 Chapter 2 Math Section 2.2: Introducing Permutations and Factorial Notation: Factorial Notation Consider how many ways there are of arranging 6 different books side by side on a shelf. In this example we have to calculate the product 6x5x4x3x2x1. In mathematics this product is denoted by 6! ( factorial or factorial 6 ) In general, n!=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3).(3)(2)(1), where n N Example 1: Use the factorial key on your calculator to solve 6! Permutations An arrangement of a set of objects in which the order of the objects is important Example 2: How many permutations are there of the letters of the word: a. REGINA: 6! = b. KELOWNA: 7! = Evaluating and Simplifying Factorial Expressions: Example 3: To simplify 10!, there are several approaches: 7! a. Use you calculator: = 720 b. By Cancellation: 10! 7! = ! 7! = 720

6 Chapter 2 Math Example 4: Find the value of 43! 40! Example 5: Simplify the following expressions: a. n! (n 2)! b. (n+3)! n! c. (n + 1)(n!) Example 6: Rewrite using Factorial Notation: a b Practice problems: Page #1-8

7 Chapter 2 Math Review Solving equations: (A) x 2 + 7x + 12 = 0 (B) x(x 2) = 3 Solving Equations involving Factorial Notation: Example 6: Solve the following (A) (n+2)! (n+1)! = 10 (B) n! (n 2)! = 20 (n+4)! (C) = 6 (n+2)! Substitute values in to verify: Practice problems: Page #11-13

9 Chapter 2 Math Section 2.3: Permutations When All Objects are Distinguishable Permutations An arrangement of a set of objects in which the order of the objects is important The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time is: n P r n! ( n r )! where 0 r n Example 1: (A) Use the n P r key on your calculator to evaluate 8 P 3. (B) Then solve using factorials. n P r n! ( n r )! 8P 3 = 8! (8 3)! Example 2: evaluate the following: (A) 6 P 4 (B) 16 P 3 (C) 8 P 8 (D) 7 P 0

10 Chapter 2 Math Example 3: How many three-letter permutations can you make with the letters of the word MATH? Defining 0! If we replace r by n in the above formula we get the number of permutations of n objects taken n at a time. This we know is n! n p n n! n! n! ( n n)! 0! For this to be equal to n! the value of 0! Must be 1. 0! Is defined to have a value of 1 2P2 2! Permutations with Restrictions In many problems restrictions are placed on the order in which objects are arranged. In this type of situation, deal with the restrictions first. Example 4: In a South American country, vehicle license plates consist of any 2 different letters followed by 4 different digits. Find how many different license plates are possible using: Fundamental Counting Principle: Permutations:

16 Chapter 2 Math Section 2.4: Permutations When Objects are Identical: Consider the words BIKE and BOOK. How does the number of ways that the four letters in each word can be arranged differ? Why? There are fewer permutations when some of the objects in a set are identical Permutations with Repetitions The following formula gives the number of permutations when there are repetitions: The number of permutations of n objects, where a are the same of one type, b are the same of another type, and c are the same of yet another type, can be represented by the expression below n! P= abc!!! Example 1: Find the number of permutations of the letters of the word: a.) VANCOUVER: there are 2V s: b.) MATHEMATICAL: 2M s, 3A s, 2T s:

There are 3 boxes of Corn Flakes, 2 boxes of Rice Krispies, 1box of Coco Pops, 1 box of Shreddies, and the remainder are Raisin Bran. Over a ten day period Brett plans to eat the contents of one box of cereal each morning. How many different order are possible if on the first day he has Raisin Bran? 3CF, 2 RK, 1 CP, 1 S, 3 RB (will only have 2 after first day)

18 Chapter 2 Math Consider the following problem: Example 4: A city centre has a rectangular road system with streets running north to south and avenues running west to east. a. below a grid represents the situation Sean b. Sean is driving a car and is situated at the extreme northwest corner of the city centre. In how many ways can he drive to the extreme southeast corner if at each turn he moves closer to his destination (assume all streets and avenues allow two way traffic) Example 5: Find the number of pathways from A to B if paths must always move closer to B. A B

19 Chapter 2 Math Example 6: How many different routes are there from A to B if you only travel south or east. A B Section 2.5:Exploring Combinations Combinations is a grouping of objects where order does not matter. This means for two objects ab would be the same as ba Example 1: given the letters a,b and c A) How many permutations are possible using two of the three letters? Practice problems: Page #1-7, 9-12, (omit 3,10,11a) B) How many combinations are possible using two of the three letters?

20 Chapter 2 Math When is order not important? 1. From a group of four students, three are to be elected to an executive committee with a specific position. The positions are as follows: 1 st position President 2 nd position Vice President 3 rd position Treasurer a. Does the order in which the students are elected matter? Why? b. In how many ways can the positions be filled from this group? 2. Now suppose that the three students are to be selected to serve on a committee. a. Is the order in which the three students are selected still important? Why or why not? b. How many possible committees from the group of four students are now possible?

21 Chapter 2 Math You are part of a group of 6 students. a. How many handshakes are possible if each student shakes every other student s hand once? 4. Part 1 deals with permutations, part 2 and 3 dealt with combinations. What is the biggest difference between a permutation and a combination? Example 1: Identify the following as a combination or permutation A) The number of ways that three horses out of eight could end up first, second and third. B) There are 16 students in a class, the number of ways that 4 students can be selected to serve on a committee. C) The number of ways to pick a group of 2 boys and 3 girls from a class of 14 boys and 15 girls.

22 Chapter 2 Math Section 2.6:Combinations An arrangement of a group of objects when order does not matter. There are several ways to find the number of possible combination. 1) use reasoning. Use the fundamental counting principle and divide by the number of ways that the object can be arranged among themselves. For example, calculate the number of combinations of three digits made from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5: 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 However, 3 digits can be arranged 3! ways among themselves. So: 2) Use the Combination formula : 60 3! = 10 The number of combinations of n items take r at a time is: n C r n n! r n r!! r where 0 r n In some texts n C r is written as n r Calculate the number of combinations of three digits made from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5: NOTE: The n C r key on the calculator can be used to evaluate combinations:

23 Chapter 2 Math Example 1: Three students from a class of 10 are to be chosen to go on a school trip. In how many ways can they be selected? Example 2: To win LOTTO 6-49 a person must correctly choose six numbers from 1 to 49. Jasper, wanting to play LOTTO 6-49, began to wonder how many numbers he could make up. How many choices would Jasper have to make to ensure he had the six winning numbers? Practice problems: Page 118 #1,3,4,8 Example 3: The Athletic Council decides to form a sub-committee of seven council members to look at how funds raised should be spent on sports activities in the school. There are a total of 15 athletic council members, 9 males and 6 females. The sub-committee must consist of exactly 3 females. a. In how many ways can the females be chosen? b. In how many ways can the males be chosen? c. In how many ways can the sub-committee be chosen? d. In how many ways can the sub-committee be chosen if Bruce the football coach must be included?

24 Chapter 2 Math Example 4: A group of people consists of 3 males and 4 females. a) How many different committees of 3 people can be formed with 1 male and 2 females? b) How many different committees of 5 people can be formed with exactly 3 females? c) How many different committees of 3 people can be formed with at least one male on the committee? Practice problems: Page #8,10,11

25 Chapter 2 Math Combinations which are equivalent Example5: Jane calculated 10 C 2 to be 45 arrangements. She then calculated 10 C 8 to be 45 arrangements. Use factorial notation to prove this: C C ! 2!8! 10! 8!2! ! ! 2!8! 8!2! 45 = 45 Solving for n in Combinations Problems Example 6: Solve nc 2 = 10

26 Chapter 2 Math Example 7: During a Pee Wee hockey tryout, all the players met on the ice after the last practice and shook hands with each other. How many players attended the tryouts if there were 300 handshakes in all? Solution: A handshake requires 2 people nc 2 = 300 Practice problems: Page #9a,13a,15a plus extra practice on next page

27 Chapter 2 Math Extra Practice Combinations: 1. A committee consists of 10 people. (A) How many ways can a subcommittee of 3 people be selected? (B) How many ways can an executive subcommittee of three people (chairman, treasurer and secretary) be selected? (C) Why are the answers to parts (A) and (B) different? 2. In the Powerball Lottery in Oregon, you must choose 5 numbers from 1 to 49 and 1 number from How many different ways are there to choose the numbers? 3. There are 8 boys and 12 girls in a drama club. How many ways can a committee of 5 be selected if A) there are exactly 3 females? B) there are at least 3 boys? 4. Set up the appropriate equation and use it to algebraically solve for n: (A) C n 1 10 B) n C 2 21 C) C n n 1 6 D) n 1C n 1 15 E) C 120 2n 1 ANSWERS: 1.a)120 b)720 c)order matters in b A)6160 B) A) 10 B) 7 C) 6 D) 5 E) 120

28 Chapter 2 Math Section 2.7:Solving Counting Problems Reminder: not every problem is a permutation or combination. Some problems require the fundamental counting principle When solving counting problems, you need to determine if order plays a role in the situation. Once this is established, you can use the appropriate permutation or combination formula. Once you have established whether a problem involves permutations or combinations you can also use these strategies: Look for conditions or restrictions. Consider these first as you develop your solution If there is a repetition of r of the n objects to be eliminated, it is usually done by dividing by r! If a problem involves multiple tasks that are connected by the word AND, then the fundamental counting principle can be applied: multiply the number of ways that each task can occur If a problem involves multiple tasks that are connected by the word OR (at most, at least), the fundamental counting principle does not apply: add the number of ways that each task can occur. This typically is found in counting problems that involve several cases.

29 Chapter 2 Math Example 1: There are 20 athletes competing in a triathlon. A) In how many ways can the top3 medal winners be chosen? B) In how many ways can 3 athletes be chosen for an interview? Example 2: Six actors and eight actresses are available for a play with four male roles and three female roles. How many different cast lists are possible?

30 Chapter 2 Math Example 3: The guidance councilor and the leadership team are having a group photo taken. There are four boys and six girls. The photographer wants the boys to sit together and the girls to sit together for one of the poses. How many ways can the group sit in a row of 11 chairs for this pose? Example 4: Find the number of different arrangements of the letters in the word ANSWER under each condition: a. that begin with an S b. that begin with a vowel and end with a consonant

31 Chapter 2 Math Example 5: Consider a standard deck of 52 cards. How many different four card hands have: a. at least 2 kings? (2K 2others) + (3K 1 other) + (4K 0 other) b. at most 2 clubs? (0clubs 4 other) + (1 club 3 other) + (2 club 2 other) Practice problems: Page #1-3,5-7,9,11,13-14
