Permutation – is an arrangement of all or part of a
Element or member – outcome in a sample space or group objects or elements.
sample point.
1. The complement of an event with respect to S is Circular permutation – we consider one object fixed
the subset of all elements of S that are not in A. and calculate the number of arrangements based on
we denote the complement of A by the symbol A’ the remaining number of object left. P = (n-1)!
2. The intersection of two events A and B, denoted
by the symbol AnB, is the event containing all
element that are common to both A and B
mutually exclusive -events that cannot occur
simultaneously.
3. The union of the two A and B, denoted by the
symbol AUB, is the events containing all the
elements that belongs to A or B or both. PERMUTATION OF DISTINCT OBJECT TAKEN r AT A
An experiment consists of tossing a die and then flipping a coin once if TIME
the number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd, then the
coin is flipped twice.
a. List the elements of the sample space S. The arrangement of r distinct object without
b. List the elements corresponding to the event A that a number less repetition, from the set of n objects in a definite
than 3 occurs on the die.
c. List the elements corresponding to the event B that 2 tails occur.
order is also a permutation (r and n are positive
d. List the elements corresponding to event A’. integers; r≤n )
e. List the elements corresponding to the event A’ՌB. The number of permutations of n distinct objects
f. List the elements corresponding to the event AUB
