4-5: Counting Rules To determine the number of possible outcomes for a sequence of events we use one of three counting rules: Fundamental Counting Rule Permutation Rule Combination Rule Fundamental Counting Rule: In a sequence of n events in which the first one has k 1 possibilities, the second one has k 2 possibilities, and so forth…the total number of possibilities will be k 1 * k 2 * k 3 *…k n (Multiply the possibilities)

Example 1: A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Draw a tree diagram to represent the total number of outcomes. Verify your findings using the fundamental counting rule. Example 2: A paint manufacturer wishes to manufacture several different paints. The categories include: Color : red, blue, white, black, green, brown, yellow Type : latex, oil Texture : Flat, semigloss, high gloss Use : Indoor, outdoor How many different kinds of paint can be made if a person can select one color, one type, one texture, and one use? Section 4-5

Example 3: The digits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are to be used in a four-digit ID card. How many different cards are possible if repetitions are permitted? Section 4-5
5
Factorial Notation – uses an ! as its notation. 5! Means 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 Special Definition : 0! = 1 Example 4 : Simplify 2! 4! (5 – 2)! 5! – 2 3! + 5! Section 4-5
