6 Same Question... How many sandwiches can you make if you have 3 types of bread, 4 types of meat and 2 types of cheese? 6

7 EXAMPLE #1 7

8 Permutation ways that a set of objects can be arranged 8

9 EXAMPLE #2 9

10 How many distinguishable permutations (unique arrangements) of the words below can you make? MOP MOP MPO OMP OPM POM PMO MOM MOM MMO OMM OMM MOM MMO 10

11 How many distinguishable permutations (unique arrangements) of the word below can you make? CANADA CANADA CANADA CANADA CANADA CANADA CANADA and more... 11

12 DISTINGUISHABLE PERMUTATIONS Let S be a set of n elements of k different types. Let n 1 = the number of elements of type 1, n 2 = the number of elements of type 2...n k =the number of elements of type k. Then the number of distinguishable permutations of the n elements is: 12

13 EXAMPLE #3 Find the number of distinguishable 13 letter "words" that can be made from the letters in MASSACHUSETTS? 13

14 Permutations You can also make the blanks and fill them in. It accomplishes the same result. 14

15 EXAMPLE #4 Your band has made 12 songs and plans to record 9 of them for a CD. In how many ways can you arrange the songs for the CD? 15

16 COMBINATIONS You also can still use the fill in the blank approach, you just need to make sure that you divide by the number of things that are the same. 16

17 EXAMPLE #5 17

18 Question... Can you tell the difference? Out of 20 seniors, 3 are chosen to get 3 scholarships. One is worth $1500, one is worth $1000, one is worth $500. How many ways are there to do this? Permutation or Combination? Do you care which scholarship you get??? This is called finding a permutation. The order in which each thing is picked is important. It matters if you are picked first or last. 18

19 Question... Can you tell the difference? does order matter? Out of 20 seniors, 3 are chosen to get 3 $500 scholarships. How many ways are there to do this? Permutation or Combination? Combination But, now there is more that you have to do. Unlike the first problem, the order in which you get picked doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you get the 1st scholarship or the third one, you are still getting $500 This is called finding a combination. A combination is basically a permutation where it doesn't matter the order in which people were picked 19

20 Thinking of the same question... Suppose Tom, Mary and John win. There are 6 different ways that they can be picked: TMJ, TJM, MJT, MTJ, JMT, JTM All 6 ways have the same people winning the same scholarships, so this is the combinations of how they can be picked. So the total from before needs to be divided by 6 or (3!) That's the difference between a permutation and a combination. 20

21 The short and sweet version... Use Permutations when the order of selection matters Use Combinations when the order of selection does not matter 21

22 Practice Time 1) A company advertises two job openings, one for copy writer and one for artist. If 10 people who are qualified for either position apply, in how many ways can the opening be filled? 2) A company advertises two job openings for computer programmers, both with the same salary and job description. In how many ways can the openings be filled if 10 people apply? 22

29 QUESTION Out of 20 seniors, 3 are chosen to get 3 scholarships. One is worth $1500, one is worth $1000, one is worth $500. How many ways are there to do this? SKIP 29

30 Same question Out of 20 seniors, 3 are chosen to get 3 $500 scholarships. How many ways are there to do this? Start out like before doing a permutation: SKIP But, now there is more that you have to do. Unlike the first problem, the order in which you get picked doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you get the 1st scholarship or the third one, you are still getting $500 30

67 9.3 day1 TOPICS Probability 67

68 Testing Your Intuition About Probability Find the probability of each of the following events. 1. Tossing a head on one toss of a fair coin 2. Tossing two heads in a row on two tosses of a fair coin 3. Drawing a queen from a standard deck of 52 cards 4. Rolling a sum of 4 on a single roll of two fair dice 5. Guessing all 6 numbers in a state lottery that requires you to pick 6 numbers between 1 and 46 inclusive 1/8,099,197,920 68

69 Probability of an Event (Equally Likely Outcomes) If E is an event in a finite, nonempty sample space S of equally likely outcomes, then the probablility of the event E is Probability Distribution Each outcome is assigned a unique probability 69

70 Probability of an Event (Equally Likely Outcomes) Find the probability of rolling a sum divisible by 3 on a single roll of two fair dice Make a sample space for sums found by rolling 2 fair dice

71 Probability Function (Distribution) A probability function is a function P that assigns a real number to each outcome in a sample space S subject to the following conditions: 1. 0 P(O) 1 for every outcome O 2. the sum of the probability of all outcomes in S is 1 3. P( ) = 0 EXAMPLE 1 Find the probability of rolling a sum divisible by 3 on a single roll of 2 fair dice. First find the probability distribution. Then add all your probabilities together from your favorable outcomes. Outcome Probability 71

72 EXAMPLE 2 - Testing a Probability Function Is it possible to weight a standard 6 - sided die in such a way that the probability of rolling each number n is exactly 1/(n 2 + 1)? Hint: What would the probability distribution look like? The probability distribution would look like this: Outcomes Probabilities 1/2 1/5 1/10 1/17 1/26 1/37 This is not a valid probability function because the probabilities do not equal 1 72

73 Probability of an Event (Outcomes Not Equally Likely) Let S be a finite, nonempty space in which every outcome has a probability assigned to it by a probability function P. If E is any event in S, the probability of the event E is the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes contained in E. 73

74 Strategy for Determining Probabilities 1. Determine the sample space of all possible outcomes. When possible choose outcomes that are equally likely 2. If the sample space has equally likely outcomes, the probability of an event E is determined by counting: 3. If the sample space does not have equally likely outcomes, determine the probability function. Check to be sure that the conditions of a probability function are satisfied. Then the probability of an event E is determined by adding up the probabilities of all the outcomes contained in E 74

75 Multiple Principle of Probability Suppose an event A has probability p 1 and an event B has probability p 2 under the assumption that A occurs. Then the probability that both A and B occur is p 1 p 2 EXAMPLE 3 Sal opens a box of a dozen cremes and generously offers two of them to Val. Val likes vanilla cremes the best, but all the chocolates look alike on the outside. If four of the twelve cremes are vanilla, what is the probability that both of Val's picks turn out to be vanilla? 75

76 Probability using Combinations (Instead of Multiplication Principle) EXAMPLE 3: Same question, different method: Sal opens a box of a dozen cremes and generously offers two of them to Val. Val likes vanilla cremes the best, but all the chocolates look alike on the outside. If four of the twelve cremes are vanilla, what is the probability that both of Val's picks turn out to be vanilla? Remember: From the four vanilla cremes, Val wants 2 so 4 C 2 = 6 From the box of 12, Val chooses 2 so 12 C 2 = 66 Therefore P(E) = 6/66 or 1/11 76

77 Venn Diagrams EXAMPLE 4: In a large high school, 54% of the students are girls and 62% of the students play sports. Half of the girls play sports. a) What percentage of the students who play sports are boys? b) If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is a boy who does not play sports? 77

78 EXAMPLE 5 Tree Diagrams Two identical cookie jars are on a counter. Jar A contains 2 chocolate chip cookies and 2 peanut butter cookies, while Jar B contains 1 chocolate chip cookie. We select a cookie at random. What is the probability that it is a chocolate chip cookie? 0.5 Jar A CC CC PB PB P(choc chip) = 0.5 Jar B 1 CC 78

79 Conditional Probability Formula If the event B depends on the event A, then EXAMPLE 6 Two identical cookie jars are on a counter. Jar X contains 2 chocolate chip and 2 peanut butter cookies, while jar Y contains 1 chocolate chip cookie. Suppose you draw a cookie at random from one of the jars. Given that it is a chocolate chip cookie, what is the probability it came from jar X? 79

80 EXAMPLE 6 Solution Two identical cookie jars are on a counter. Jar X contains 2 chocolate chip and 2 peanut butter cookies, while jar Y contains 1 chocolate chip cookie. Suppose you draw a cookie at random from one of the jars. Given that it is a chocolate chip cookie, what is the probability it came from jar X? 0.5 Jar X CC CC PB PB P( chocolate chip) 0.5 Jar Y 1 CC 80

84 Binomial Distributions (REALLY IMPORTANT NOTES) For events that have 2 possible outcomes (example: heads or tails) we can use the Binomial theorem that we learned last section to determine probabilities. (X + Y) n number of trials Probability of each outcome, ALWAYS sum to 1. 84

85 EXAMPLE 1 Suppose you roll a die 4 times. Find the probability that you roll exactly two 3's. Let x = probability of rolling a 3 (which is what??) Let y = probability of not rolling a 3 (which is what??)
