  1. Permutations and Combinations Making your own starting lineup!

  2. Why do we want to study permutation and combination? • Very often we will find situations where one thing can be done in different ways. • In order to find the best way, we need to know how many possible ways are there in total. • For example, computer A send message to computer B through the network. How many possible routes are there? Which one is the best? A B

  3. Activity 1: Scissor Paper Rock • Two students play scissor paper rock • How many possible ways the play will go?

  4. Activity 2: Group play • Two groups of students. Each time one student from each group play scissor paper rock against each other until all students have played. If you have 4 students in the group, how many different lineups can you possibly make? …, …, …, …, Permutation. 4!=24

  5. What if you only have 3 students in the group, but you are playing against a group with 4 students? How many different lineups can you possibly make? *each of the 3 students have to play in each of the first 3 rounds, the 4th round you can assign any of the 3 to play again. …, …, …, …, First 3 spots: Permutation. 3!=6Last spot: 3.Total 6x3=18.

  6. Activity 3: Combinations • A group of n students (n>=3), pick 2 students from them to form a team to play against another team from another group. How many possible ways you can form your team? (Assuming the playing order within a does not matter.) • Combination: 4*3/2*1=6 How many possible ways you can form your team? (Assuming the playing order matters.) • This goes back to permutation again: 4*3=12

  7. Activity 4: Combinations and Permutations • 4 piles of cards. 2 cards in each pile: • Pick one from each pile, how many combinations of cards can you possibly get? • Lets count! • 4 piles of cards. 4 cards in each pile: • Pick 2 cards from each pile, how many combinations of cards can you possibly get? • Lets calculate! Each pile has combinations: C(4,2)=6 6x6x6x6=1296

  8. 4 piles of cards. 2 cards in each pile: • Pick one from each pile in sequence, how many permutations of cards can you possibly get? • Lets count! • ♠A, ♥A, ♦A, ♣A. • ♠A, ♥A, ♦A, ♣2 • ♠A, ♥A, ♦2, ♣A. • … 16*4!=384

  9. 4 piles of cards. 4 cards in each pile: • Pick 2 cards from each pile in sequence, how many permutations of cards can you possibly get? • Lets calculate! • Assume the choice of pile sequence is determined.Permutation within each pile: P(4, 2). Permutation of the whole sequence: [P(4, 2)]^4 • Now consider the permutation of 4 piles = 4! • So total permutation = 4! x [P(4, 2)]^4.
