Illustrating

Permutations
MELC 1: Illustrate the permutation of objects
Probability

- is the branch of mathematics concerning

events and numerical descriptions of how
likely they are to occur. The probability of an
event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger
the probability, the more likely an event is to
occur.
PERMUTATION

Permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects with

proper regard to order.
• We determine the different permutations asked by listing.
• We also use table, tree diagram and as well as the Fundamental
Counting Principle.
 Fundamental Counting Principle

-can be used to calculate the total number of permutations, for a given

situation.
-The principle may not tell you exactly what those permutations are, but it
gives you exactly how many permutations there should be if you are listing
those permutations.
- The Fundamental Counting Principle says that you can
multiply the number of ways each event being considered can occur.
 Sample Problem 2

Suppose you secure your bike using a combination lock. Later, you
realized that you forgot the 4- digit code. You only remembered
that the code contains the digits 1, 3, 4, and 7.
a. List all possible codes out of the given digits.
b. How many possible codes are there?
c. Use the Fundamental counting principle to check if the number of
permutations is correct.

 Sample Problem 3

Lably decided to decorate their house for Christmas.

She made 3 lanterns (red, blue and yellow). Using R to
represent the red lantern, B for the blue lantern and Y
for the yellow lantern, draw a tree diagram showing all
possible permutations.

 Sample Problem 4

In how many ways can Aling Rosa

arrange 6 potted plants in a row?
Use the Fundamental Counting Principle
Let N = number of possible arrangements of the plants

How did you determine the different
possibilities asked for in the given situations?

• By listing all possible outcomes

•By using fundamental counting
principle
What mathematics concept or principle did
you use to determine the exact number of
ways of doing each task or activity described?
Fundamental Counting Principle
 How was that principle applied?

-can be used to calculate the total number of permutations, for a given situation.
-The principle may not tell you exactly what those permutations are, but it gives
you exactly how many permutations there should be if you are listing those
permutations.
- The Fundamental Counting Principle says that you can

 Problem 1

Ten runners from different municipalities/cities (A-

Amadeo, Al- Alfonso,Ty- Tagaytay, K- Kawit, Gen-
General Trias, M- mendez, N- Noveleta, C- Carmona , S-
Silang, T-Trece) join a race on the Provincial Meet 2016 at
Tanza, Cavite. In how many possible ways can they be
arranged as first, second, and third placers?
 Problem 2

. If Jun has 12 T- shirts (T1, T2, T3, ….T12), 6

pairs of pants(P1, P2, …. P6), and 3 pairs of
shoes (S1, S2, S3), how many possibilities can
he dress himself up for the day?
 Problem 3

Suppose that in a certain association, there are 12

elected members (M1, M2, M3, … M12) of the
Board of Directors. In how many ways can a
president(P), a vice president(VP), a secretary(S),
and a treasurer(T) be selected
from the board?
