Counting Sample Points
If an operation can be performed in n1 ways, and if for each of these
ways a second operation can be performed in n2 ways, then the two
operations can be performed together in n1 x n2 ways.
Basic Principle of Counting
If an operation can be performed in n1 ways, and if for each of these a
second operation can be performed in n2 ways, and for each of the first
two a third operation can be performed in n3 ways, and so forth, then
the sequence of k operations can be performed in
n1 x n2 x n3 x…x nk ways
Counting Sample Points
• A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects.
• For any non-negative integer n, n!, called “n factorial,” is defined as
n! = n(n − 1) · · · (2)(1),
• 0! = 1.
Theorem: The number of permutations of n objects is n!.
