Activity 10 To The Next Level

This document provides 3 examples of problems involving permutations and their solutions. Problem 1 involves a student taking 4 exams to earn at least 13 points for university entry, and calculates the number of ways (31) for the student to earn enough points. Problem 2 calculates the number of possible 6-character passwords (11,232,000) if the first 3 characters are capital letters and last 3 are numbers, with no repetition. Problem 3 calculates the number of ways (120) a teacher can arrange 5 students in a row. The document also asks how many possible seating arrangements there are for 12 country representatives in a circular international convention, calculating it as 39916800.

Activity 10

To the Next Level


Do the following task by group

A. Give 3 examples of problems or situation in real life


that involve permutation,
1.explain the problem or situation
2.solve the problem
3.discuss how you can use these sample situation in
your daily life,especially in formulating conclusion
and/or making decision.
Problem 1

Situation: A student has to make 4 university entry exams. For passing each
exam he gets either 2,3 or 4 points. He needs to reach at least 13 points to get to
the university. In how many ways can he do the exams to be successful?
Solution:

He needs to get 13, 14, 15 or 16 points.


13 points: (3,3,3,4) P*3,1(4) = 4
(4,4,3,2) P*2,1,1(4) = 12
14 points: (4,4,4,2) P*3,1(4) = 4
(4,4,3,3) P*2,2(4) = 6
15 points: (4,4,4,3) P*3,1(4) = 4
16 points: (4,4,4,4) P*4(4) = 1

N = 4 + 12 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 31
Usage in Daily Life:

It is important to calculate the entry exam score ,so


that you can know how to balance it, so that you can
pass each exam successfully.
Problem 2

Situation:
How many 6-character passwords can be made if the first three have to be
capital letters and the last three are numbers and repetition is not allowed?

Solution:
The answer is obtained by P(26,3)×P(10,3), which is equal to 11,232,000.

Usage in Daily Life:


Making passwords is essential in making sure our information online is safe
and protected. It is important to always change passwords regularly to
prevent hacking and fraud. The number of passwords that can be made is
determined by permutation.
Problem 3

Situation:
How many ways can a teacher arrange 5 students in a row?

Solution:
The answer is obtained by the permutation P(5,5) = 120 ways.

Usage in Daily Life:


Seating arrangement is important to a teacher because this
can be a way to manage behavior in class. For example, he
may choose to not let two noisy students sit together or he
can put three students sit side by side so they can help each
other.
B. It is in international summits that major world
decision to happen . Suppose that you were the overall
in charge of the seating in a international convention
wherein 12 country representative were invited. They
are the prime minister's/president of the counties of
Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan,, Libya,
Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, USA, and united
kingdom.
B. If the seating arrangement is to be circular, how many
seating arrangement are possible for Canada, Chin, France,
Germany, India, Japan, Libya, Malaysia, Philippines, South
Korea, USA, and United Kingdom?
Solution:
=(12-1)!
=11!
=39916800
