Study Notes
Principles of Counting
- Multiplication Principle: Used when making a series of choices; multiply the number of options at each step.
- Addition Principle: Applied when there are multiple ways to achieve an outcome; sum the number of options.
Examples of Counting
- Password Creation: A password has 2 letters followed by 3 digits, offering various combinations depending on the alphabets and digits used.
- Restaurant Meals: Offering 4 appetizers, 5 main courses, and 3 desserts leads to multiple possible meal combinations by multiplying (4 x 5 x 3).
- Library Selection: Choosing one book from 4 fiction and 6 non-fiction gives 10 total choices.
Activity Choices
- Sports and Arts: A school offers 3 sports and 4 arts activities, allowing students 7 total choices through addition or combinations of participation.
Number Formation
- Three-Digit Even Numbers: Formed from digits 1-6 with repetition allowed, calculate the options based on digit constraints and ensure the last digit is even.
- Two-Digit Numbers: Variants involving digit repetition and non-repetition from 1-6 lead to different total combinations.
- Three-Digit Numbers: Created from digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 without repetition, computed via permutations.
- Two-Digit Even Numbers: Formulated within specified constraints of available digits without repetition.
Factorials
- Factorials (n!) denote the number of ways to arrange n distinct items and are crucial for permutations and combinations.
Permutation Concepts
- Basic Permutation: Arrangement of items in a specified order; order matters.
- Permutation with Repetition: When items can be repeated in arrangements, calculate using total option counts raised to the number of positions.
- Circular Permutation: Arranging items in a circle alters the formula since rotations are considered identical.
Combination Concepts
- Basic Combination: Selecting items from a group where order does not matter; calculated using binomial coefficients.
- Team Selection: Calculating teams based on specific conditions (like having at least one boy).
- Handshake Problem: Involves counting unique pairings among individuals, relevant in networking contexts.
Variations in Selection
- Different scenarios outlined where distinct selection rules apply, affecting total counts depending on group makeup and conditions (e.g., inclusion requirements, team compositions).
