Permutation vs Combination
Lesson Objectives Differentiate permutation from combination; and Solve permutation or combination of n taken r at a time.
Activity: Watch your Order Determine if the given situation requires order or not. Choose the reaction that corresponds to your answer. Order matters Order does not matter
Opening a combination lock. Order matters Order does not matter
Opening a combination lock. Order matters
Assigning seats in a queue. Order matters Order does not matter
Assigning seats in a queue. Order matters
Selecting balls from a box. Order matters Order does not matter
Selecting balls from a box. Order does not matter
Forming triangles from set of points with no three points are collinear. Order matters Order does not matter
Forming triangles from set of points with no three points are collinear. Order does not matter
Watch your Order Order matters Order matters Order does not matter Order does not matter
Watch your Order permutation combination permutation combination
Take Note SIMILARITY Permutation and combination are both selections made from a group.
Take Note DIFFERENCE In permutation, order matters while in combination, order does not matter.
Let’s compare ABCD – Find permutations of 2 and combinations of 2. Permutations of 2: AB CA AC CB AD CD BA DA BC DB BD DC Note: AB is NOT the same as BA. Combinations of 2: AB AC AD BC BD CD Note: AB is the same as BA
Permutation vs Combination Example Permutations Choosing a first, second, and third place winners from a Beauty Pageant. Combinations Picking Top 10 finalist in no order in a Beauty Pageant.
Permutation vs Combination Formula Permutations Combinations
Examples of relating to Permutations Ranking people. Sequencing of draws. Locking with a definite sequence. Forming of words with the given letters. Forming of numbers with the given digits.
Examples of relating to Combinations Handshaking with other. Numbering in no particular order. Picking multiple objects in one draw. Forming a team from a number of players. Forming of a particular committee from a number of players .
Always keep an eye on the keywords used in the question. The keywords can help you get the answer easily. The keywords like – selection, choose, pick, and combination – indicates that it is a combination question. Keywords like – arrangement, ordered, unique – indicates that it is a permutation question. If keywords are not given, then visualize the scenario presented in the question and then think in terms of combination and arrangement. Takeaways
1. From 3 tennis players A, B, and C, how many doubles team can be formed? Identify if the given situation illustrates permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. Combination
1. From 3 tennis players A, B, and C, how many doubles team can be formed? n = 3 r = 2 = 3
2. From 3 letters, A, B, and C, how many 2 – letter words can be formed? Identify if the given situation illustrates permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. Permutation
2. From 3 letters, A, B, and C, how many 2 – letter words can be formed? n = 3 r = 2
3. In how many ways can 5 teachers be assigned to 3 sections of the Grade 10 in a high school? Identify if the given situation illustrates permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. Permutation
n = 5 r = 3 3. In how many ways can 5 teachers be assigned to 3 sections of the Grade 10 in a high school?
4. In a society of 10 members, we have to select a committee of 4 members. As the owner of the society, John is already a member of the committee. In how many ways can the committee be formed? Identify if the given situation illustrates permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. Combination
4. In a society of 10 members, we have to select a committee of 4 members. As the owner of the society, John is already a member of the committee. In how many ways can the committee be formed? n = 9 r = 3
Activities A. Directions: Analyze carefully each problem. Write “ permu ” if it is an example of permutation and “ combi ” if is combination. ____________ 1. getting 3 shirts from 10 choices for a 3-day retreat. ____________ 2. assigning 3 readers for a recollection for 3 different passages. ____________ 3. choosing 5 basketball players from a bench of 12 players for a jump ball. ____________ 4. grabbing 6 marbles from a box of 30 marbles. ____________ 5. determining the succession of film floats in a film festival.
1.A group of 10 women and 6 men must select a four-person committee. How many committees are possible if it must consist of the following: Two men and two women? B. Analyze and solve each problem carefully and accurately. b) majority of women? c) majority of men?
Solution: a) 2 men and 2 women n1 = 10 women n2 = 6 men r1 = 2 women r2 = 2 men
(9b) condition: In selecting four-person committee consisting of majority of women , there are 2 scenarios:
(8c) condition: In selecting four-person committee consisting of majority of men , there are also 2 scenarios:
2. One of the highlight activities of Sta. Maria Town Fiesta is the MASS WEDDING held every February 14. In the venue, they put round tables around the dancing fountain for couples and each table can hold 5 couples. Consider one of the tables in the venue which is prepared for the first five couples that will arrive. a) How many ways are there to arrange the first five couples in a round table? b) How many arrangements are there where the couples are seated together? c) How many arrangements are there if wives are seated together? d) How many arrangements are there if husband and wife seat alternately?
A box contains 7 red balls, 5 yellow balls, and 3 green balls. In how many ways can we select 3 balls such that: a) They are all red? b) They are all yellow? c) They are all green? d) They are of different colors? e) Exactly 2 are yellow?
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 a) They are all red r = 3 n = 7 Select 3 balls
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 b ) They are all yellow r = 3 n = 5 Select 3 balls
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 c) They are all green r = 3 n = 3 Select 3 balls
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 d ) They are of different colors Select 3 balls
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 e) exactly 2 are yellow r = 3 is distributed Select 3 balls
Solution: red = 7 yellow = 5 green = 3 e) exactly 2 are yellow r = 3 is distributed Select 3 balls
Activity: Perfect Combination Study the following situations. Identify which situation involves permutation and which involves combination. Determining the top three winners in a Science Quiz Bee. Forming lines from six given points with no three of which are collinear. Forming triangles from 7 given points with no three of which are collinear. Four people posing for pictures. Assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Choosing 2 household chores to do before dinner. Selecting 5 basketball players out of 10 team members for the different positions. Choosing three of your classmates to attend your party. Picking 6 balls from a basket of 12 balls. Forming a committee of 5 members from 20 people.
