What is a Permutation? A permutation is an arrangement of events where order matters.
How many ways can a horse win first place? 5 ways How many ways can a horse win second place? 4 ways How many ways can a horse win third place? 3 ways Solution: 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 ways How many ways can 5 horses win first, second, and third place in a race? This is a permutation (order matters!)
How many letters can be the first letter? 5 letters How many letters can be the second letter? 4 letters How many letters can the third letter? 3 letters Solution: 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 arrangements
