Study Notes
Mathematics Study Notes
-
Topic Outline: This section lists the topics covered in the course, such as permutations, combinations.
-
Tree Diagrams: Visual tools that display all possible outcomes of an event. Each branch represents a possible outcome.
-
Table: A tabular format that showcases all possible outcomes.
-
Fundamental Counting Principle: This principle helps count the total number of possible outcomes in a situation. If there are n ways to do one thing, and m ways to do another, then there are n x m ways to do both.
-
Permutation: An arrangement of objects in which the order is important.
-
Order Matters: The arrangement of objects is critical in permutation problems.
-
Examples (Permutations): These include opening combination locks, determining winning combinations in contests, and selecting class officers.
-
Systematic Listing: Method of listing all possible outcomes in a structured and organized manner.
-
Factorial Notation: The product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. Represented as n!.
-
Permutation (Finding the Unknown): Solving for missing variables in permutation problems.
-
Circular Permutation: An arrangement of objects in a circle; the number of ways is calculated using the formula (n-1)!.
-
Combination: An arrangement or selection of items where order doesn't matter.
-
Order Doesn't Matter: The sequence in which items are selected is unimportant in combination problems.
-
Combination Formula: Used to find the number of ways to select r items from a group of n items. The formula is n! / ( (n-r)! * r! ).
-
Mutually Exclusive Events: Events that cannot happen at the same time.
-
Mutually Inclusive Events: Events that can happen at the same time.
-
Probability of a Compound Event: An event with more than one possible outcome.
-
Independent Events: Outcomes of one event don't influence the other. Probability of independent events is calculated by multiplying probabilities.
-
Dependent Events: Outcomes of one event do affect the outcomes of others. Calculate the probability of dependent events differently from multiplying probabilities.
-
Probability of Simple Events: Probability for events with a single outcome.
-
Probability Line: A visual representation of probability, showing the range from impossible to certain.
