Study Notes
Factorial and Combinations
- 3! (factorial) equals 6, calculated as 3 × 2 × 1.
- 4!/2! equals 12, derived from the formula for combinations where 4! represents total arrangements divided by 2! for the arrangement of 2 items.
- 7C2 (combinations) gives 21; it counts the ways to choose 2 out of 7 without regard for order.
Additional Combinations
- 4C3 + 6C5 equals 10; combines two different combinations from distinct groups.
- 6P2 (permutations) equals 30, indicating the number of ways to arrange 2 items from 6 distinct options.
Probability: Independent vs. Dependent Events
- Randomly selecting a student and then another from the same group is a dependent event, as the first selection affects the second's options.
- Selecting a number by rolling a die twice constitutes independent events because the outcome of the first roll does not influence the result of the second.
Combinatorial Choices
- Choosing 3 items from 12 for the first dinner can be done in 220 ways, illustrating the concept of combinations in selecting a subset.
- A cafeteria menu with 4 sandwiches, 3 sides, 2 desserts, and 5 drinks results in a total of 120 unique meal combinations available for selection.
Arranging Items
- Arranging 8 file folders in a drawer results in 40,320 different configurations, emphasizing the importance of factorial calculations in permutations.
