Counting Rules—The Fundamental Counting Principle and Permutations
Count the benefits of using the resource. The second installment of a 21-part module focuses on the fundamental counting principle to determine the number of outcomes in a sample space. It formalizes concepts of permutations and...
Curated OER
Students use fundamental counting principle to compute combinations and permutations
Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...
