Study Notes
Fundamental Counting Principle
- The Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP) is used to determine the total number of possible outcomes when multiple events occur.
- If Event 1 has m possible outcomes and Event 2 has n possible outcomes, then the total number of outcomes for both events is m multiplied by n.
- The second event is not influenced by the first. This principle is based on multiplying the potential outcomes of each event.
Permutation
-
A permutation is an arrangement of objects in a specific order.
-
The order matters in permutations.
-
Permutations without repetition: nPr = n! / (n-r)! where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items selected.
-
Calculating the number of possible arrangements by multiplying the number of choices for each position.
-
Example using the word "SUNDAY" to form three-letter words: (n=6, r=3) - gives 120 possible three-letter words
-
Permutation with Repetition: n! / (p! q!)
Factorial Notation
- n! (n factorial) is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.
- 0! = 1
Circular Permutation
- Circular permutations arrange items around a circle.
- Formula: (n-1)! where n is the number of items.
Combination
- A combination is a selection of objects where the order does not matter.
- Formula: nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!) where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items selected
Probability
-
Probability quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring.
-
The probability of an event is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes.
-
Probability values range from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
-
Probability of Union of Mutually Exclusive Events:
- P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B)
-
Probability of Union of Inclusive Events:
- P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
-
Probability of Independent Events:
- P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)
-
Probability of Dependent Events:
- P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B|A)
-
Conditional Probability:
- P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

Description
Explore the fundamental counting principle (FCP) and permutations. FCP helps determine total outcomes when multiple independent events occur. Permutations arrange objects in a specific order, where the order matters, and can be calculated with or without repetition.
