There s one blue marble.
Is picking two marbles permutation.
So i could pick that green marble or that green marble.
Or 6 variations for every choice we pick.
So if we have 3 tin cans to give away there are 3.
A jar contains 4 black marbles and 3 red marbles.
And sometimes this is referred to as the sample space the set of all the possible outcomes.
Why do the two solutions differ.
Fancy word for just a simple idea that the sample.
If we want to figure out how many combinations we have we just create all the permutations and divide by all the redundancies.
Suppose an opaque jar contains 4 red marbles and 10 green marbles the following exercise refers to the experiment of picking two marbles from the jar without replacing the first o log on.
For example given that we have 5 different colored marbles blue green red yellow and purple if we choose 2 marbles at a time once we pick the blue marble the next marble cannot be blue.
Selecting k objects from n objects is given by.
It is crucial that you are choosing items without replacement for the two methods to be equivalent.
A bag of marbles containing 4 white marbles and 6 red marbles.
B find probabilities for p bb p br p rb p ww p at least one red p exactly one red 3.
In our case we get 336 permutations from above and we divide by the 6 redundancies for each permutation and get 336 6 56.
There s two green marbles in the bag.
Algebra permutations solution.

Two marbles are drawn without replacement.
And then there s one blue marble in the bag.
You remove them from the bag one of the time without replacement.
If we randomly select two marbles from the bag what is the probability that the selected marbles are of different colors in other words one white and one red.
So this is all the possible outcomes.
For permutations without repetition we need to reduce the number of objects that we can choose from the set each time.
Assuming each color of marble is identical and it doesn t matter which specific marble of each color is chosen calculate the number of possible permutations in which you can remove the 10 marbles.
Choosing a first marble then a second is the same as first choosing two marbles then picking which goes first.
A draw the tree diagram for the experiment.

1 after marble no 2 is different from vice versa.
