Recall
"Last time, we learned about
permutations, where the arrangement of
objects matters. Can anyone remind us Students will raise their hands.
what a permutation is?"
Yes, Dave.
(Expected responses )
What is permutation?
"It’s an arrangement of items where order
matters." or "It’s finding how many ways
we can arrange things."
4!
P(4, 4) =
( 4−4 ) !
4.3 .2.1

= 24
LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION:
(Teacher will define what distinguishable
permutation is).
Yes, Justine!
Exactly! We use the formula for
permutations of distinguishable objects:
Solution:
n!
P=
p! q!r!
Given:
n ( total number of books ) =8
p( identical novels) =4
q ( identical poetry books ) =2
r ( identical history books ) = 2
Problem 2:
How many distinct arrangements can be
made from the letters in the word
"BALLOONS"?
Solution:
The word "BALLOONS" has 8 letters:
n =8 (letters)
B=1
A=1
L =2
O =2
N=1
S=1
n!
P=
p! q!r!
8!
P=
2!2 !
Calculate the factorials,
8.7 .6 .5.4 .3 .2 .1
P=
2.1 2.1
20,160
P=
2
P= 10080 ( student will answer the problem )
Final Answer: Expected Answer:
The letters in "BALLOONS" can be n!
arranged in 10,080 distinct ways. P=
p! q!r!
10 !
P=
Problem 3: 3! 2! 2 !
T=3
A=1
I=2
C =1
Substitute these values into the formula:
n = 10
p=3
q=3
r=2 ( students answer may vary)
Substitute the values:
n!
P=
p! q!r!
10 !
P=
3! 2! 2 !
Calculate the factorials,
10.9.8 .7 .6 .5 .4 .3 .2.1
P=
3.2.1 3.2.1 2.1
604,800
P=
12
P = 50,400
The letters in “STATISTICS’’ can be
arranged in 50400 distinct ways.
GENERALIZATION
APPLICATION/ASSESSMENT
Individual Practice:
Solve these problems:
1. "In how many ways can the letters of
'SUCCESS' be arranged?"
2. "A factory has 9 identical red boxes and
5 identical blue boxes. How many unique
arrangements can be made?"
