Define factorial as the product of the first n natural numbers, illustrated by 5! = 5×4×3×2×1 and 8! = 8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1. Explore basic properties of factorials and their computation.
Explore permutations through a solved example, applying plus and minus operations and key properties to simplify counting and arrangement.
Explore permutations with five letters by analyzing placements and when letters must stay together, and apply the fundamental principle of counting to determine the number of possible words.
Covers circular permutations by illustrating how to count arrangements around a circular table, examining when clockwise and anticlockwise orders are considered different, with solved examples.
Explore counting combinations with constraints using C(n, k) notation, through solved examples like selecting 11 players from 15 with one excluded and choosing six from 11 with two excluded.
Master combinations through solved examples, applying the fundamental principle of multiplication to count one-or-more selections, such as inviting friends or choosing items.
Apply rule three of combinations to an at-most-n books problem from two n plus one books, deduce 63 equals the binomial sum and find n equals 3.
Explore combinations through solved examples and apply the fundamental principles of counting to determine how many ways one or more items can be selected from a set.
Apply number theory concepts to a solved example, exploring divisors, prime factorization, coprime numbers, and counting formulas to determine divisor-related counts.
work through solved example 2 on applying permutations and combinations to number theory, setting up the problem, manipulating expressions, and calculating counts step by step.
Explore an application of permutations and combinations to number theory by counting ways to split a number into two coprime parts, using gcd and related formulas.
Explore division into groups with a solved example using a 52-card deck and selecting 17 cards. Use the 52 choose 17 combinations formula, noting order does not matter.
Divide twelve items into groups of five and seven using the division into groups method, noting when order matters versus not, and extend to groups of five, four, and three.
Study arrangement in groups through solved example 1 from case 5, using binomial coefficients and the second form to determine the group configurations.
This course deals with concepts required for the study of Probability and Statistics. Statistics is a branch of science that is an outgrowth of the Theory of Probability. Permutations and Combinations are used in both Statistics and Probability ; and they in turn involve operations with factorial notation.
This 50+ lecture course includes video explanations of everything from Permutations and Combinations, and it includes more than 60+ examples (with detailed solutions) to help you test your understanding along the way. Become a Permutations and Combinations Master is organized into the following sections:
