Chapter 10 Flashcards
Counting principle
Events * events* events
Finding number of Permutations
!
Permutations of n objects taken r at a time
nPr= n!/(n-r)!
Permutations with repetition
n!/s1! * s2!….
Solving for n
nP6=5(nP5)
n!/(n-6)!=5(n!/n-5)!
(n-1 n-2….5)= 5(n-1…4)
n-5=5
n=10
Combinations of n objects taken r at a time
nCr= n!/(n-r)! *r!
When finding the number of ways both an event A AND event B can occur, you need to —- their combinations
Multiply
When finding the number of ways that event A OR event B can occur, you — their combinations
Add
The binomial Theorem
(A+b)n
nCr a^n-r b^r
Find the coefficient of in (a+b)^n
Use the nCra^n-rb^r
Odds in favor
A/ not A
Odds against
Odds not A/ A
Experimental prob
A/ total trials
Geometric prob
Area what want to hit/ area of entire board
Prob of compound events p(b or a)
P(a)+p(b) -p(a and b)
