Question 2:

a) If the five numbers cards 1,2,3,4,5 are put into a box, in how many different
a) ways could you draw one out?
Ans:
=5x4x3x2x1
= 5!
= 120

b) When one of them has been drawn, in how many ways could you
a) draw a second?
Ans:
5 P 2 = 5! / (5 - 2)! = 120/2 = 60

c) Therefore, in how many ways could you draw two numbers?

Ans:

2! = 2 x 1
2! =2

d) What is the meaning of the symbol 5P4?

Ans:
The number of permutations of 5 different things taken 4 at a time.

e) Evaluate 5P4

Ans:

n P r = n! / (n - r)!
5 P 4 = 5! / (5 - 4)!
5 P 4 = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / 1!
5 P 4 = 120
