How many ways can you match the outfits presented
below? You have three different pants and three
different tops on hand.
We simply match the three pants to the tops one by one
and counting the results will give the desired number.
We can use the tree diagram so that we can visualize the
results.
The manner of solving by multiplying the number of
elements of two or more events to find the total number
of outcomes for those events to occur is known as the
Fundamental Counting Principle ( FCP ).
• Others call it the multiplication principle.
• The FCP states that if one event has m possible
outcomes and a second independent event has n
possible outcomes, then there are m × n total possible
outcomes for the two events to occur together. Thus,
the problem above where it involves three pants and
three tops will have 3 × 3 which will give 9 as the
number of outcomes or outfits.
EXAMPLE
In how many ways can you order a menu composed of a
main dish, a dessert, and a drink to be chosen from two
different main dishes, two different desserts, and two
different drinks?
SOLUTIONS
a. Using the tree diagram
Let’s denote the main dishes as D, desserts as Ds, and
drinks as Dr.
SOLUTIONS
b. Using FCP
2 x 2 x 2 = 8 different ways
Each of the outcomes or results follow certain
arrangements which are orderly. In this section, we
shall encounter more situations that involve orderly
arrangement of objects.
The term Permutation is used to indicate ordered
arrangements of objects.

EXAMPLE
1. How many permutations are there in the letters of the
word LOVE?
SOLUTIONS
Using FCP

4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24 permutations for the letters


of the word LOVE.
EXAMPLE
2. In how many ways can three boys and two girls be
arranged in a row with
five seats?
SOLUTIONS
Using FCP

5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1= 120

There are 120 ways of arranging the three


boys and two girls.
The Factorial Notation:
The factorial notation (symbol: ! ) is the process of
multiplying consecutive decreasing whole numbers
from an identified number down to one.
n! = n (n – 1)(n – 2)(n – 3) … (3)(2)(1)
Thus, 8! = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 40,320
And as a convention, zero factorial (0!) is defined to be
1
The Permutation of n Objects taken n at a
time:
The number of permutations or different
arrangements of n different objects taken n
at a time in a row is nPn which is equal to
n!.
EXAMPLE
In how many ways you can arrange seven
books in a shelf if the space available is
good for five books only?
SOLUTIONS

There are 2,520 ways of arranging the 7 different


books taken 5 at a time in a shelf.
