Slide3The Pigeonhole PrincipleHow many students would be required to place soda orders, one soda per student, in order to insure that at least one of the six listed sodas would be ordered by at least two students?"worst-case scenario" strategytwo variables in the original problem situationthe number of sodas available, andthe number of repeat orders desired.Using n (here, n = 6) to represent the first value and k (here, k = 2) to represent the second, write a statement that
generalizes our solution.We have 10 boxes labeled 1 through 10 into which we place jelly beans. How many jelly beans are required to insure that at least one box contains at least as many jelly beans as the label on the box?Tuesday, April 1, 2014MAT 312
Slide4The Addition PrincipleIf I order one vegetable from Blaise's Bistro, how many vegetable choices does Blaise offer?If a choice from Group I can be made in n ways and a choice from Group II can be made in m ways, then the number of choices possible from Group I or Group II is n + m.Condition: None of the elements in Group I are the same as elements in Group II.GeneralizationDisjoint: have nothing in common.Set I: {a,m,r} Set II: {b,d,i,l,u} Set III: {c,e,n,t}How many ways are there to choose one letter from among the sets I, II, or III?
Set A={2,3,5,7,11,13} Set B={2,4,6,8,10,12}.How many ways are there to choose one integer from among the sets A or B?Tuesday, April 1, 2014MAT 312
Slide5The Multiplication PrincipleA "meal" at the Bistro consists of one soup item, one meat item, one green vegetable, and one dessert item from the a-la-karte menu. If Blaise's friend Pierre always orders such a meal, how many different meals can be created?Enumerate the possible meals How else could we complete the count without identifying all possible options?If a task involves two steps and the first step can be completed in n ways and the second step in m ways, then there are nm ways to complete the task.Condition: The ways each step can be completed are independent of each other.GeneralizationSet I: {a,m,r} Set II: {b,d,i,l,u} Set
III: {c,e,n,t}Determine the number of three-letter sets that can be created such that one letter is from set I, one letter in from set II, and one letter is from set III.Tuesday, April 1, 2014MAT 312
Slide6PermutationsSet I: {a,m,r} Set II: {b,d,i,l,u} Set III: {c,e,n,t}In how many ways can the letters within just one set, from among I, II, and III, be ordered?Multiplication Principle Factorial NotationPermutations: ordered arrangements of items.Almost every morning or evening on the news I hear about the State of Illinois DCFS, the Department of Children and Family Services. I get confused, because our mathematics department has a committee called the Department Faculty Status Committee, or DFSC. Can you see why I'm confused? How many different 4-letter ordered arrangements exist for the set of letters {D, F, S, C}
?Tuesday, April 1, 2014MAT 312
Slide7PermutationsExtension: Consider ordered arrangements of only some of the elements in a set.If Blaise will post only four possible soda choices, how many different ordered arrangements of the four sodas are there?Notation: P(n,r): the number of ways to arrange r objects from a set of n objects.
P(4,4)Tuesday, April 1, 2014MAT 312
Slide8CombinationsWhat is the distinction between asking these two questions? In how many ways can a 5-card poker hand be dealt? How many different 5-card poker hands exist?Permutations: P(52,5)Combinations: Selection of objects from a set with no regard for order or arrangement.Simpler Problem: How many ways can we select three items from the 5-element set {A,B,C,D,E}
if the order of the three items is disregarded?List the unique 3-element subsets of {A,B,C,D,E}: ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, ADE, BCD, BCE, BDE, CDE. There are 10 such 3-element subsets.Or, relate to permutationsThere are P(5,3) = 60 ordered arrangements of the 5-element set into 3-element
subsets. Within the 60 ordered arrangements, there are 10 groups, each with 6 arrangements that use the same 3-letter subset. That is, 60 ÷ 6 = 10 unique 3-element subsets.
