Overview

Permutations and combinations are basic counting tools used to find how many arrangements or selections are possible without listing every case. The fundamental principle of counting states that if one event can happen in m ways and a following event can happen in n ways, then the total number of or

Key Concepts

If an event can occur

If an event can occur in m different ways and then another event can occur in n different ways, the total number of ordered outcomes is m × n. For thr

A permutation is an arrangement

A permutation is an arrangement in a definite order of a number of objects taken some or all at a time. Order matters in permutations.

The number of permutations of n

The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time is ^nP_r = n(n-1)(n-2)...(n-r+1) and also ^nP_r = n!/(n-r)!, valid for 0 ≤ r ≤ n.

n! is the product of

n! is the product of the first n natural numbers. Also, 0! = 1 by convention. The recursive form is n! = n(n-1)!

If repetition is allowed

If repetition is allowed, the number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time is n^r.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental principle of counting.
