3. 8 - 3 The Fundamental Counting Principle  If there are m ways to do one thing, and n ways to do another, then there are m*n ways (possible outcomes) of doing both.  The Fundamental Counting Principle is the guiding rule for finding the number of ways to accomplish two tasks. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

4. 8 - 4 Example:  How many possible outcomes are there when you want to flip a coin and roll a die ? © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

5. 8 - 5  Sample Spaces  A listing of all the possible outcomes is called the sample space and is denoted by the capital letter S.  The sample space for the experiments of flipping a coin and rolling a die are S = { H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}.  Sure enough, there are 12 possible ways. The fundamental counting principle allows us to figure out that there are twelve ways without having to list them all out. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

6. 8 - 6 Example: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved. How many possible outcomes are there if you want to hit one note on a piano and play one string on a ukulele?

7. 8 - 7 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved. The Counting Principle also works for more than two activities.

8. 8 - 8  Remember: The Counting Principle is easy! Simply MULTIPLY the number of ways each activity can occur. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.

21. 8 - 21 Combinations and Permutation © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved. If the order doesn't matter, it is a Combination. If the order does matter it is a Permutation. In English we use the word "combination" loosely, without thinking if the order of things is important. In other words: So, in Mathematics we use more accurate language:

22. 8 - 22 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved. "My fruit salad is a combination of apples, grapes and bananas" We don't care what order the fruits are in, they could also be "bananas, grapes and apples" or "grapes, apples and bananas", its the same fruit salad. "The combination to the safe is 472". Now we do care about the order. "724" won't work, nor will "247". It has to be exactly 4-7-2.

31. 8 - 31 Example When shipping diesel engines abroad, it is common to pack 12 engines in one container. Suppose that a company has received complaints from its customers that many of the engines arrive in nonworking condition. To help solve this problem, the company decides to make a spot check of containers after loading. The company will test 3 engines from a container at random; if any of the 3 are nonworking, the container will not be shipped until each engine in it is checked. Suppose a given container has 4 nonworking engines. Find the probability that the container will not be shipped. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.. All rights reserved.
