Fundamental counting principleDon’t forget it!!! • How many different cell phone can we make? • They come in black, silver, and blue. • They can be touch screen or not. • They can have a full keypad or just a number pad.
Permutation • An arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is important • Permutation… think: Position! • Examples?
How many different ways can you arrange 3 Classes? • Math, science, and Language arts. • The classes cannot repeat. • First: there are 3 possibilities for the first class, There are 2 choices that remain for the second class, and there is only one choice left for the last class, because the classes cannot repeat. • So….. 3*2*1= 6 total possibilities for the 3 classes to be arranged.
Example • How many different class schedules can we make? • Math, Science, SS, Language Arts, Reading • What is the probability that they will be in the order I typed them?
example • There are 30 people in a race. How many ways can 3 people come in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?
Example • How may different 3 digit codes can we make if no digits can repeat? • What is the probability that the code is to punch in 1, 2, and then 3?
