Overview

Permutations and Combinations is a fundamental branch of mathematics that deals with counting arrangements and selections of objects. This chapter introduces essential counting techniques that help us determine the number of ways objects can be arranged or selected without actually listing all possi

Key Concepts

If an event can occur

If an event can occur in m different ways, and following this, another event can occur in n different ways, then the total number of occurrences of bo

A permutation is an arrangement

A permutation is an arrangement of objects in a definite order. The number of permutations of n different objects taken r at a time is nPr = n!/(n-r)!

n! (n factorial) represents the product

n! (n factorial) represents the product of first n natural numbers: n! = 1 × 2 × 3 × ... × n. By definition, 0! = 1. For example, 5! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 ×

When repetition is allowed

When repetition is allowed, the number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is nr. When objects are not all distinct (some are identical), t

A combination is a selection

A combination is a selection of objects where order does not matter. The number of combinations of n different objects taken r at a time is nCr = n!/[
