Term Definition Example

An arrangement of objects in
a definite order. The
Permutation members or elements of sets
are arranged here in a
sequence or linear order.
From the name itself, are
permutations (or
Distinguishable Permutation arrangements) that can be
distinguished from one
another.
The total number of ways in
which n distinct objects can
Circular Permutations be arranged around a fixed
circle.

It represents the
n-Factorial multiplication of all numbers
between 1 and n.
A mathematical technique
that determines the number
of possible arrangements in a
Combinations
collection of items where the
order of the selection does
not matter.
A rule used to count the total
Fundamental Counting number of possible outcomes
Principles in a situation.

The branch of mathematics

concerning events and
Probability
numerical descriptions of
how likely they are to occur.
 The chances that some
outcome occurs given that
Conditional Probability another event has also
occurred.

An outcome or set of
outcomes resulting from an
experiment.
Events

The union of events A and B,

denoted by A ∪ B, consists
of all outcomes that are in A
or in B or in both A and B.
Union of Events Intersection of events: The
intersection of events A and
B, denoted by A ∩ B,
consists of all outcomes that
are in both A and B.
The collection of all
Intersection of Events outcomes that are elements
of both of the sets A and B.
The occurrence of one event
does not affect the chances of
the occurrence of the other
Independent Events event.

Two events are called

mutually exclusive if they
Mutually Exclusive Events cannot happen at the same
time.

Events whose occurrence of

Dependent Events one affects the probability of
occurrence of the other.
One in which there is more
than one possible outcome.
Compound Events
