1 LESSON 4 COMBINATIONS WARM UP: 1. 4 students are sitting in a row, and we need to select 3 of them. The first student selected will be the president of our class, the 2nd one selected will be the vice president, and the 3rd will be the secretary. In how many ways can these students be selected? 2. How would the answer change if positions are no longer assigned? Three students need selected from the group of 4 to sit on a committee. Nov 18 10:48 PM The first example on the last slide was a, the second is called a. INVESTIGATION 1: Get into groups of 6. Figure out how many handshakes are possible if each student must shake every other students hands. When you have your answer log on to enter my room number and submit your answer. Nov 18 11:15 PM 1
2 INVESTIGATION 2: Five students, Aaron, Bobby, Chris, Dylan, and Eric take part in a cross country race to represent their school. a) Suppose the winner of the race wins $50, the runner up wins $25, and third place is $10. The table below shows all possible ways in which the three prizes could be awarded to the 5 participants in the race. "A" stands for Aaron, "B" stands for Bobby, "C" stands for Chris, "D" stands for Dylan, and "E" stands for Eric.

The school coach decides to select the 3 lucky students from the ones who took part in the cross country race. Use this same table to circle the different ways the three students can be chosen.

3 Notice how in Investigation part b, that the number of Combinations is equal to the number of permutations divided by or, in other words, divided by factorial. Nov 19 3:12 PM COMBINATION FORMULA A combination is a selection of objects in which order isn't important. The formula for a combination is: where n has to be greater then, or equal to, r, and n>0. Nov 18 11:19 PM 3
4 EXAMPLES: 1. Evaluate by first using the formula, then confirm using your calculator. a) b) Nov 19 3:13 PM 2. How many different committees of 3 people can be selected from 8 people? Nov 19 3:15 PM 4

In how many ways can two players be selected from a team of twelve? Nov 19 3:16 PM 4. 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 Ms. Jensen must be on the committee?
