A number multiplied by all numbers less than it. 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 9! 0! a!

+Permutations

Used for arranging a set of objects where order matters.

n = number of objects to choose from r = number of objects to be arranged

+Examples In how many ways can six circus elephants be arranged

in a line?

In how many ways can the four symbols *, !, @, # be arranged?

+Examples In how many ways can one write three letters on a tag

using the letter A, B, C, D, and E at most once.

A teacher wants to write an ordered 6-questions test from a pool of 10 questions. How many different forms of the test can the teacher write?

+Examples

How many 7-digit numbers can be named, without repetition, using the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 if an even digit must come first.

+Combination

Deals with ways of selecting from a set.

How many combinations are there of the set {A, B, C, D} taken two at a time? {A, B} {A, C} {A, D} {B, C} {B, D} {C, D}

How is this different from a permutation? Combination - selection is important, not order.

+Combination

n = number of objects r = how many we choose
