OBJECTIVES
Specific Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students are
expected to:
a.) distinguish the difference between
permutations and combinations;
b.) calculate permutations and
combinations to solve a real-life
problem; and
c.) value the importance of the use
combinations and permutations to
solve real world problems

Assignment
Permutations – refers to the different possible
arrangements of a set of objects. The number of
 permutations of objects taken at a time is:
 
𝑛!
𝑃 ( 𝑛 , 𝑟 )= , 𝑛 ≥𝑟 .
(𝑛 −𝑟 ) !
Example: In how many ways can 5 people arrange
themselves in a row for picture taking?

Solution

possible pictures
Combinations – the number of ways of selecting
from a set when the order is not important. The
 number of combinations of objects taken at a time
is
 
𝑛!
𝐶 (𝑛 , 𝑟 )= ,𝑛 ≥ 𝑟 .
𝑟 !(𝑛 − 𝑟 )!
 Example: In how many ways can a committee
consisting of 4 members be formed from 8 people?
Solution

row of 6 seats if 2 of the students insist on sitting
beside each other?
ASSIGNMENT:

Journal Writing: Write an entry in your journal

describing how much you have learned about
permutations and combinations, and how these can
be applied to real life. Add also the parts of the
lesson that you still find confusing, if any.
