Directions:Overview

Permutations and combinations are calculations to determine how many ways events can occur. These two counting techniques can be seen when trying to count how many ways we can arrange books on a shelf to how many different combinations of toppings are available on a pizza.

Instructions

In your initial post:

• Describe the differences between permutations and combinations by providing two real-life examples:
• The first example should demonstrate how permutations can be used in a real-life example.
• The second example should demonstrate how combinations can be used in a real-life example.
• Solve each example by showing and explaining all the steps.
• Reflect on your examples by identifying the differences in set up and solving techniques.
