2. Entry Task
You have 100 songs on your iPhone. How many different playlists can be created if you are choosing 5 songs?
(A song played first is different than if the song is played second)

3. 100*99*98*97*96

4. Example 1
You are going on vacation and you pack 3 sweaters, 4 pants, and 2 pairs of shoes. How many outfits are there?

5. Answer
3x4x2= 24 outfits

6. Example 2
Suppose a set of license plates has any three letters from the alphabet, followed by any three digits.
How many different license plates are possible?
26x26x26x10x10x10 = 17,576,000 possible plates
How many license plates will have no repeats of numbers or letters?
26x25x24x10x9x8=11,232,000 possible plates

7. Example 3
There are 5 starters on a basketball team; _______, _______, _______, _______, and _______
The announcer doesn’t want to play favorites, so he will announce their names in random order. How many possible combinations are there?
5x4x3x2x1 = 120 possible combinations OR
5! = 120

8. Factorial
n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…1
Example:
3! = 3*2*1=6
Note:
0! = 1

10. Example A – Part 1
Seven flute players are performing in an ensemble. How many different ways can they be arranged?
What is the probability of the names of the flute players being selected in alphabetical order?
(Remember: Probability is found by dividing the number of ways an event can occur by the number of possible outcomes)

11. Permutations What is a permutation?
An arrangement of some or all objects of a set without replacement where order matters.
n is the total # objects r is # chosen
