COMBINATIONS

Learning Objectives
a. define combination;
b. differentiate permutations and combinations; and
c. solve problem involving combinations.
PERMUTATIONS
❏ A permutation is an arrangement of items in a particular
order. Notice, ORDER MATTERS!
❏ To find number of permutation of n items, we can use
Fundamental Counting Principle or Factorial Notation.
❏ Fundamental Counting Principle can be used
determined the number of possible outcomes when
there are two or more characteristics.
PERMUTATIONS

❏ To find the number of permutations of n items chosen r


at a time, we can use the formula

where 0 ≤ r ≤ n.
COMBINATIONS
COMBINATIONS
❏ A combination is an arrangement of items in which
ORDER DOES NOT MATTER!
❏ It is a number of ways of selecting from a set when the
order is not important.
❏ Since the order does not matter in combinations, there
are fewer combinations that permutations. The
combinations are a “subset” of the permutations.
❏ Subset is a set of which all the elements are contained
in another set.
COMBINATIONS
❏ To find the number of combinations of n items chosen r
at a time, we can use the formula;

where 0 ≤ r ≤ n.

where: C refers to the number of combinations.


n refers to the total number of objects in a set.
r refers to the number of objects selected from the set.
❏ To find the number of combinations of n
items chosen r at a time, we can use the
formula;

where 0 ≤ r ≤ n.
Math can open your mind!
Let us consider the following problems involving
combinations.
Example 1. The players were numbered as 1, 2, and 3, how many
teams of two players can be formed?

Solution: We are to form teams of 2 players from 3 players. Thus, as


explained above, we can use the formula for combination where n = 3
and r = 2.

Thus, the team of two


players can be formed is
3.
Example 2. Lotto is a game of chance which is played by choosing
six different numbers from 1 to 42. How many different bets are
possible?

Solution: The problem is an example of combination because the order


on how the 6 numbers are chosen is not important. We can use the
formula for combination where n = 42 and r = 6.

Thus, there are 5,245,786


bets possible.
Example 3. How many different committees of 4 people can be
formed from a pool of 7 people?
Solution: It is a combination problem because there is no order of the
members required in the committee. Since we are to form a group of 4
from 7 people then, we will use combination where n = 7 and r = 4.

Thus, there are 35 different committees.


Example 4. A student must answer 3 out of 5 easy questions on a
test. In how many differents ways can the student select the
questions?
Solution: It is a combination problem so, we will use combination where
n = 5 and r = 3.

Thus, there are 10 different ways.


TRY THESE!
Numbers provide a precise language in mathematics, offering a clear
and quantifiable way to express concepts
Practice No. 1

In how many ways can a committee consisting 4


members be formed from 8 people?
Answer:
In how many ways can a committee consisting 4 members
be formed from 8 people?

Thus, 70 ways.
Practice No. 2

How many groups of 8 cards can be taken from a


deck of 10 cards?
Answer:
How many groups of 8 cards can be taken from a deck of
10 cards?

Thus, 45 groups.
Practice No. 3

To play a particular card game, each player is


dealt five cards from a standard deck of 52
cards. How many different hands are possible?
Answer:
To play a particular card game, each player is dealt five
cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. How many
different hands are possible?

Thus, 2,598,960 different hands are possible.

the letters B, E, A, U, T, and Y.
2. There are 8 persons inside a room. If each person is paired
