The document discusses counting principles and permutations. It provides examples of counting meal combinations at a restaurant (120 ways), survey responses with yes/no answers (32 ways), product codes with numbers and letters (676,000 ways), and seating arrangements of people around a table (12 ways). It also defines distinguishable permutations and provides examples of counting permutations of letters in words and arrangements of houses in a subdivision.

Performance Task in Math There are 4 different types of
sandwich, 3 different types of side,
Marvin Almaria 2 different types of desserts and five different types of drink. Aldrich Ambion The number of meal combos possible 10 – Charity is 4 * 3 * 2 * 5 = 120
Ms. Nicole Raye Sanchez Question: You take a survey with
five “yes” or “no” answers. How many different ways could you complete Fundamental Counting Principle the survey?
Answer: There are 5 stages:
Question 1, question 2, question 3, A fast-food restaurant has a meal question 4, and question 5. There are special: $5 for a drink, sandwich, 2 choices for each question (Yes or side item and dessert. The choices No). So the total number of possible are: ways to answer is:
Beef Patty, Vegeburger and Fish Fillet. Side: Regular fries, Cheese Question: A company puts a code on Fries, Potato Wedges. each different product they sell. Dessert: Chocolate Chip The code is made up of 3 numbers Cookie or Apple Pie. and 2 letters. How many different Drink: Fanta, Dr. Pepper, codes are possible? Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite. Answer: There are 5 stages (number Question: How many meal combos 1, number 2, number 3, letter 1 and are possible? letter 2). There are 10 possible Answer: There are 4 stages: numbers: 0-9.
1. Choose a sandwich. There are 26 possible letters: A – Z.
2. Choose a side. So we have: 3. Choose a dessert. 4. Choose a drink. 10 * 10 * 10 * 26 * 26 = 676000 possible code Circular Permutation
Question: Find the number of ways
in which 5 people A,B,C,D,E can be seated at a round table, such that
(I)A and B must always sit together.
Note the following 6 arrangements (II) C and D must not sit together. are equivalent:
Solution: If we wish to seat A and B
together in all arrangements, we can consider these two as one unit, along with 3 others. So effectively we’ve to arrange 4 people in a circle, the Answer: Therefore the total number number of ways being (4-1)! or 6. Let of ways in the case will be 2! X 3! = me show you the arrangements: 12.
In how many ways can 6 people be
seated at a round table?
Answer: Therefore, the total Solution and Answer: the number of
number of ways will be 6 x 2 = 12. ways will be (6-1)! , or 120.
Question: In how many ways can 3 Distinguishable Permutation
men and 3 ladies be seated at around Question: How many distinguishable table such that no two men are permutations exist for the letters in seated together? the word CINCINNATI? Solution: Since we don’t want the Solution: There are nine total men to be seated together, the only letters in word, therefore, n = 10 way to do this is to make the men and women sit alternately. We’ll n1 = 2 ‘C’ first seat the 3 women, on alternate n2 = 3 ‘I’ seats, which can be done in (3 – 1)! or 2 ways, as shown below. (We’re n3 = 3 ‘N’ ignoring the other 3 seats for now n4 = 1 ‘A’ n5 = 1 ‘T’ Solution: This word has 14 letters, of which three are R’s, two are S’s, Answer: Therefore the number of two are M’s, one is a E, one is a Y , distinguishable permutations equals: one is a C, one is a H, one is a I, one n! is a S.
planning to develop a subdivision that consists of 6 one-story houses, 4 two- story houses, and 2 split-level houses. In how many distinguishable ways can the houses be arranged?
Solution: There are 12 houses in the
subdivision
n = 12, n1 = 6, n2 = 4, n3 = 2
12!
6! 4! 2!
=13, 860 distinguishable ways
Answer: In how many distinguishable
ways can the letters in MERRYCHRISTMAS be written?
