many possible ways can a dance group select their piece?
Answer: 160 1
Remember:
1. The permutation of n objects taken all at a time is:

Example: In how many ways can 5 people arrange


themselves in a row for picture taking?

2
Remember:
2. The permutation of n objects taken r at a time is:

Example: From a club of 24 members, a President, Vice


President, Secretary, Treasurer and Historian are to be
elected. In how many ways can the offices be filled?

Solution: 24! 24!


24 p5   
( 24  5)! 19!
24 * 23 * 22 * 21 * 20  5,100,480

Remember:

3. The number of distinguishable permutations, P, of n


objects where p objects are alike, q objects are alike, r
objects are alike, and so on, is:

Example: Find the number of permutations of the letters of the


word STATISTICS.
Solution:

10!
P= = 50 400 permutations
3!3!2!

4
Remember:

4. The permutation of n objects arranged in a circle is:

Example: In how many ways can 3 people be seated
