18 HOST: Like what I’ve said earlier, our topic for today is

19 Differentiate Permutation from Combination of n Objects Taken r at a Time.

20 Please always have your learning activity sheets with you so that you can

21 follow the discussion of our radio teacher for today, Mr./Ms. __________________.

22 If you are ready, let us all welcome teacher _____________.

23 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

24 RADIO TEACHER: It’s a beautiful day my dear Grade 10 students! How are you doing? I hope

25 you are all excited, I am your mathematics 10 teacher and I am going to discuss

26 Differentiating Permutation from Combination of n Objects Taken r at a Time.

27 Do you already have your Mathematics Learning Activity sheet, Activity notebook,

28 papers and pen? (PAUSE) Very good! Let’s start.

29 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

30 RADIO TEACHER:

31 In the past, you have learned about permutation and combination. These terms are very interesting

32 as well as very useful to make valuable application in your life. However, how do you know when to

33 use permutation or combination? That is what you are going to learn in today’s episode, that

is,

34 differentiating permutation from combination of n objects taken r at a time.

35 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

36 RADIO TEACHER: Now, kindly open your Mathematics Learning Activity Sheet on page 1- 3,

37 and please find the background information for learners. There you can find a table that summarizes

38 the difference between permutation and combination. Notice that in permutation, arrangement or

39 order of elements is important. While in combination, arrangement or order of elements is not

40 important or necessary. A perfect example for permutation is your password. While selecting any

41 fruit in a fruit salad is an example of a combination.

43 - MORE
following are the most common key words -
used: ordered ways, unique, schedule, rank, positions in

44 offices, and arrangements. On the other hand, the following key words are commonly used to mean

45 combination: select, choose, pick, combination, sample, and committee. So, whenever you read a

46 problem or a situation, look for these keywords for they are useful indicators that will guide you in

47 determining whether a certain situation is an example of combination or permutation.

48 The formula for permutation also differs from that for combination. The formula for permutation is

n! n!
49 P ( n , r )= . While the formula for combination is C ( n , r ) = . Please take note of the
( n−r ) ! r ! ( n−r ) !

50 difference.

51 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

52 RADIO TEACHER: Are you now familiar with the differences between permutation and

53 combination? Very good. Let us now consider the examples given on page 2 of your learning activity

54 sheet.

55 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

56 RADIO TEACHER:

57 Let us now read altogether example number 1.

58 In a group of 10 Mathematics club members, they have to select a committee of 4 members. As the

59 president of the club, Ana is already a member of the committee. In how many ways the committee

60 can be formed?

61 Now do you notice the underlined word “select”? Very good. Since the keyword used is select, then

62 the problem is an example of combination. And to solve for the number of ways that the committee

63 can be formed, we use the C(n,r) formula. Do you follow? Very good.

64 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

65 RADIO TEACHER:

66 Let’s proceed to example number 2.

67 There are 8 bikers in a race. If all are concerned with the first, second, and third place finishers,
68 how many different orders of finishers are possible?

69 In this example, the keyword “orders” is used and therefore this problem is an example of
- MORE -
70 permutation and the P(n,r) formula is applicable to arrive at an answer.

71 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

72 RADIO TEACHER:

73 Let us now consider example number 3. In example number 3, it says that there are 6 teams in a

74 PBA league, and each team plays with the other teams exactly once. What is the total number of

75 games played in the PBA league?

76 This time, there are no important keywords that will easily tell us of whether the problem is for

77 permutation or combination. In this case, we need to visualize the information provided in the

78 problem statement. For example, it is stated in the problem that there are 6 teams in a PBA league

79 and we know that each game is played between two teams. Furthermore, the match between team

80 A and team B is the same as the match between team B and team A. Therefore, for each match, we

81 must select 2 teams only. And in this case, arrangement is not important. So if arrangement or

82 order does not matter, then combination is application for this example. Thus, the C(n,r) formula

83 can be used to solve this problem.

84 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

85 RADIO TEACHER: Students, are you still with me? That’s great.

86 It is now your time to apply what you have learned by doing Activity 2 which you can find in page

87 4 of your Learning Activity Sheet.

88 Direction: Identify which situations or questions involves permutation or combination.

89 Write your answers in your activity notebook.

90 1. Jenny places two oranges, five apples and nine bananas in a basket. Her children select six fruits

91 from the basket.

92 2. A pack of 52 cards was shuffled by Jess and asked Benny to choose any of the seven cards.

93 3. During the final round in running event, 5 runners are closing to finish line. The top three winners

94 will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals.

95 4. How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 if no repetition is

96 allowed.

97 5. Nisa rearranged the letters in the word “APPLICATION” and formed new three letter words.

98 6. A container has 5 candies, 8 chocolates, and 4 lollipops. In how many ways can you choose 4

99 chocolates.

100 7. How many distinguishable permutations are possible with all the letter of the word MESSAGES?

101 8. In how many ways can you arrange 6 fiction books, 4 non-fiction books and

102 9. In a wedding, the bride see to it that each guest shake hands to everyone. If there are 100

103 guests, how many shake hands will be done?

104 10. There are 12 points on a number line. How many possible rays can be drawn using the given

105 points?

121 RADIO TEACHER: After such an awesome activity, can you share to me how you were able to

122 differentiate Permutation from Combination? (PAUSE)

123 Please bear in mind the following key points:

124 1. Always look on the keywords used in the question or situation. The keywords can help you decide

125 whether permutation or combination is applicable.

126 2. The keywords like selection, choose, pick, and combination indicates that it is a combination.

127 3. Keywords like: arrangement, ordered, unique indicates that it is a permutation

128 4. If keywords are not given, then visualize the scenario presented in the question or situation and
129 then think in terms of combination and arrangement

130 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

131 RADIO TEACHER: For your assessment, please answer Activity 3 on page 4 of your learning

132 activity sheet.

133 Directions: To summarize what you have learned in this lesson, answer the following questions:

134 (READ EACH QUESTION TWICE)

135 1. What are the keywords to identify a combination or permutation situations?

136 2. How would you differentiate combination from permutation?

137 Write your answers in your activity notebook.

138 BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER

139 RADIO TEACHER: For your additional learning, please answer the Reflection, found in page 5 of

140 your Learning Activity Sheet by completing the statement “ In this lesson, I learned that …”

142 RADIO TEACHER: Great job Grade 10 students.

143 That’s all for today. Remember to keep all your learning activity sheet and let your parents or

144 guardians submit your activity notebook to your respective drop off points.
