What to Focus On
- If one task can be done in 'm' ways and another in 'n' ways, both can be done in m × n ways.
- Applies to independent events in sequence.
- Used in forming numbers, passwords, and travel routes.
- n! = n × (n−1) × ... × 2 × 1
- 0! = 1 (by definition)
- Used in formulas for permutations and combinations.
- Order matters in permutations.
- <sup>n</sup>P<sub>r</sub> = n! / (n−r)!
- <sup>n</sup>P<sub>n</sub> = n!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Permutation and Combination are interchangeable; they mean the same thing.
nPr and nCr are calculated the same way; just use n!/(n−r)! for both.
0! = 0, just like 0 multiplied by anything is 0.
