  1. Permutations 4 CDs fit the CD wallet you carry to school each day. You can arrange them in the holder by release date, alphabetically by artist or title, or ranked in order of preference. How many distinct arrangements are possible? For simplicity label them ABCD and try writing out an exhaustive listing of all possible arrangements: ABCD BACD CBAD DBCA ACBD ABDC BCDA ACDB BADC BCAD CBDA BDCA CDAB CDBA ADCB CADB BDAC DCAB DABC DBAC DCBA ADBC DACB CABD If none have been repeated or missed, 24 different arrangements are possible.

  2. There are 4 titles to choose from as 1st in the holder... 4 different ways to startthe arrangement. That leaves 3 from which to select the 2nd... then two to pick from to hold the next to last slot. By the time you have made that choice, there is only one left to be last. That makes for (4 possible 1st place holders) (3 possible remaining 2nd place holders) (2 ways to fill the next-to-the-last slot) (1 last-place-holder) = 4·3·2·1=24.

  3. Each arrangement is called a permutation, and we employ the special notation of N! to represent the string of factors counting down from N to 1: 4! (read "four factorial") = 4·3·2·1=24 or 6! = 6·5·4·3·2·1=720 N! = N (N - 1) (N - 2) …3 · 2 · 1

  4. Your group of 10 finds 10 seats together in a front row of the theater! How many different seating arrangements are possible? 10! = 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1 = 3,628,800 Express using factorials the number of ways a deck of 52 cards can be shuffled. 52! = 8.0658175171067

  5. Combinations Four cards are set out on the table. You are asked to pick anythree. How many different choices are available to you? In other words: How many different (sub)sets of 3 can you build out of a pool of 4 objects? “Picking 3” in this case is the same as “rejecting 1” (deciding which one NOT to pick) there are obviously 4 ways to do this. We say 4C3 = 4 (the number of different combinations of 3 taken from a total of 4 is equal to 4). Listing them is easy: ABC ABD ADC BCD.

  6. We can count off other combinations: 4C2 = 6 AB AC AD BC BD CD 4C1 = 4 A B C D Just check out: 4C3 = 4C2=

  7. In a club with 10 members, how many ways can a committee of 3 be selected? 10C3 = 5 cards are drawn (one at a time) from a well-shuffled deck. How many different hands are possible? 52C5 =

  22. Imagine flipping a coin until you get a head. Is the probability of needing to flip just once the same as the probability of needing to flip 10 times? Probability of a head on your 1st try, P(1) = Probability of 1st head on your 2nd try, P(2) = Probability of 1st head on your 3rd try, P(3) =

  29. CROP workshop participants have seen • counts for RANDOM EVENTS fluctuate • counting cloud chamber tracks • Geiger-Meuller tubes clicking in • response to a radioactive source • “scaling” the cosmic ray singles rate • of a detector (for a lights on/lights • off response)

  30. Cosmic rays form a steady background impinging on the earth equally from all directions measured rates NOT literally CONSTANT long term averages are just reliably consistent • These rates ARE measurably affected by • Time of day • Direction of sky • Weather conditions Why?

  31. You set up an experiment to observe some phenomena …and run that experiment for some (long) fixed time… but observe nothing: You count ZERO events. What does that mean? If you observe 1 event in 1 hour of running Can you conclude the phenomena has a ~1/hour rate of occurring?

  32. Random events arrive independently • unaffected by previous occurrences • unpredictably 0 sectime A reading of 1 could result from the lucky capture of an exceeding rare event better represented by a much lower rate (~0?). or the run period could have just missed an event (starting a moment too late or ending too soon).

  33. A count of 1 could represent a real average as low as 0 or as much as 2 1 ± 1 A count of 2 2 ± 1? ± 2? A count of 37 37 ± at least a few? A count of 1000 1000 ± ?

  34. The probability of a single COSMIC RAYpassing through a small area of a detector within a small interval of time Dt can be very small: p << 1 • cosmic rays arrive at a fairly stable, regular rate • when averaged over long periods • the rate is not constant nanosec by nanosec • oreven second by second • this average, though, expresses the • probabilityper unit time • of a cosmic ray’s passage

  35. Example: a measured rate of 1200 Hz = 1200/sec • would mean in 5 minutes we • should expect to count about • 6,000 eventsB. 12,000 events • C. 72,000 events D. 360,000 events • E. 480,000 eventsF. 720,000 events

  36. Example: a measured rate of 1200 Hz = 1200/sec • would mean in 3 millisec we • should expect to count about • 0 eventsB. 1 or 2 events • C. 3 or 4 events D. about 10 events • E. 100s of eventsF. 1,000s of events 1 millisec = 10-3 second

  37. Example: a measured rate of 1200 Hz = 1200/sec • would mean in 100 nanosec we • should expect to count about • 0 eventsB. 1 or 2 events • C. 3 or 4 events D. about 10 events • E. 100s of eventsF. 1,000s of events 1 nanosec = 10-9 second

  38. The probability of a single COSMIC RAYpassing through a small area of a detector within a small interval of time Dt can be very small: p << 1 for example (even for a fairly large surface area) 72000/min=1200/sec =1200/1000 millisec =1.2/millisec = 0.0012/msec =0.0000012/nsec

  39. The probability of a single COSMIC RAYpassing through a small area of a detector within a small interval of time Dt can be very small: p << 1 The probability of NOcosmic rays passing through that area during that interval Dtis A. pB. p2C. 2p D.( p - 1) E. ( 1 - p)

  40. The probability of a single COSMIC RAYpassing through a small area of a detector within a small interval of time Dt can be very small: p << 1 If the probability of one cosmic ray passing during a particular nanosec is P(1) = p << 1 the probability of 2 passing within the same nanosec must be A. pB. p2C. 2p D.( p - 1) E. ( 1 - p)

  41. The probability of a single COSMIC RAYpassing through a small area of a detector within a small interval of time Dt is p << 1 the probability that none pass in that period is ( 1 -p )1 While waiting N successive intervals (where the total time is t = NDt ) what is the probability that we observe exactlyn events? pn n “hits” × ( 1 -p )??? ??? “misses” × ( 1 -p )N-n N-n“misses”

  42. While waiting N successive intervals (where the total time is t = NDt ) what is the probability that we observe exactlyn events? P(n) = nCNpn( 1 -p )N-n From the properties of logarithms ln (1-p)N-n = ln (1-p) ln (1-p)N-n = (N-n)ln (1-p) ??? ln x  loge x e=2.718281828

  43. ln (1-p)N-n = (N-n)ln (1-p) and since p << 1 ln (1-p) - p ln (1-p)N-n = (N-n) (-p) from the basic definition of a logarithm this means e???? = ???? e-p(N-n)= (1-p)N-n

  44. P(n) = pn( 1 -p )N-n P(n) = pn e-p(N-n) If we have to wait a large number of intervals, N, for a relatively small number of counts,n n<<N P(n) = pn e-pN

  45. P(n) = pn e-pN And since N - (n-1)  N (N) (N) … (N) = Nn for n<<N

  46. P(n) = pn e-pN P(n) = pn e-pN P(n) = e-Np Consider an example…

  47. P(n) = e- 4 e-4 = 0.018315639 If the average rate of some random event is p = 24/min = 24/60 sec = 0.4/sec what is the probability of recordingn events in 10 seconds? P(0) = P(4) = P(1) = P(5) = P(2) = P(6) = P(3) = P(7) = 0.195366816 0.156293453 0.104195635 0.059540363 0.018315639 0.073262556 0.146525112 0.195366816

  48. P(n) = e-Np Hey! What does Np represent?

  49. Another useful series we can exploit m, mean = n=0 term n / n! = 1/(???)

  50. ¥ m å ( N p ) - e N p = (N p ) ( m )! = m 0 m, mean let m = n-1 i.e., n = what’s this?
