  6. Permutations: permutations of n objects taken r at a time where the order does matter. Combinations: combinations of n objects taken r at a time where the order doesn’t matter. Selections: filling spots with or without repeats. Multiplying possible selections for each spot. Ways to Count

  7. Pg 2.1- Using the pattern of letters and numbers, how many different license plates are possible for this style of Utah plate?
