NCR - Calculate A Combination of N Things Taken R at A Time. in Combinations, Order Do Not Count

This document provides instructions for various probability functions on a calculator: 1) Choosing a random number seed. 2) Calculating permutations (nPr) where order matters using the formula n!/(n-r)!. 3) Calculating combinations (nCr) where order does not matter using the formula n!/r!(n-r)!. Combinations are used for binomial distributions. 4) Defining the factorial function. 5) Generating random integers (RandInt) between two values. 6) Generating random numbers from a normal distribution (RandNorm) with a given mean and standard deviation.

to seed your random number generator (so that everyone gets the same order of random

numbers),
choose some number and store it into Rand. (Ex: 150 STO rand).
2. nPr - calculate a permutation of n things taken r at a time. In permutations, order counts.
If you have 30 people in a club and you wish to choose a president, vice-president, secretary,
and treasurer, this would be a permutation of 30 things taken 4 at a time.

The mathematical formula for nPr is

n!
(n ! r )!

* 3. nCr - calculate a combination of n things taken r at a time. In combinations, order do not count.
If you have 30 people in a club and you wish to choose a 4 officers with equal rank, this would
be a combination of 30 things taken 4 at a time.

The mathematical formula for nCr is

n!
n!(n ! r ) !

You need nCr as the coefficients of the terms in binomial distributions.


4. ! - factorial - n! is defined as n(n ! 1)(n ! 2)(2)(1) . 0! is defined as 1.
* 5. RandInt - generates n random integers between A and B
form: RandInt(A,B,n) . You will usually want to place hese in a list. You can do it from the
home screen by storing it into a list as shown below or do it from the STAT EDIT screen.

* 6. RandNorm - generates n random numbers with mean and standard deviation ! .

form randNorm(

, n) . You will usually want to place these in a

list. You can do it from.


the home screen by storing it into a list as shown below or do it from the STAT EDIT screen.
