Heavenly Father and Your Beloved Son Jesus Christ,
We thank you for giving us another life,
We thank you for another Beautiful Day.
As we go on through our lessons today,
May you make us instruments to do good things.
Please enlighten our minds,
Give us the strength to participate in our subject today.
Thank you for this opportunity to learn.
Heavenly Father, may you help me to always remember
the Truth of Your Glory!

COMBINATORICS
Introduction:
Have you ever wondered why cellular phones or telephones
have no duplication of numbers? How many ways can three
questions are answered? To answer these questions, it is important
to list all possibilities or use the methods of counting: the
Fundamental Principle of counting, Permutation and Combination
play an important role on it. These three methods are known as
Combinatorics.
Lesson 4
COMBINATION
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the student should be able to:
a. illustrates the combination of objects
b. differentiate permutation from combination of n objects
taken r at a time.
c. solve problems involving permutation and combination
d. appreciate the importance of combination in solving real-life
problems.
C EXPLORE:
Activity Title: COMPLETE ME!
Start
Main Idea:AChoosing objects from group in a particular order, you are creating a
permutation. However, we can also choose an object without considering the order.
This selection of objects is called combination.
Directions:TUse a tree diagram to show possible outcomes
When counting the possible number of permutations of a set of elements, order is
important. However, there are situations where we are only concerned with the
number of ways we can select r elements from a set of n elements. This is a
combination denoted by () or nCr . We read this as the number of combinations of n
elements taken r at a time.
Definition of Combination
A combination is a subset of r distinct elements selected out of n elements
without regard to order. The number of combinations of n elements taken r at a time is
denoted by nCr = ().
Formula for Combination:
nC r =

There are 12 students in Mr. Dellera class. There are 12 students in Mr. Dellera class.
He wants to choose 3 students to be officers He wants to choose 3 students to clean the
of the class: a president, a vice president , classroom. How many ways can he choose
and a secretary. How many ways can he three students?

Examples:
1.) How many different committees of 5 people can be appointed
from a group of 10 people?
Given: Solution: nCr =
n = 10
r=5 10C5 =
10C5 =
10C5 =
10C5 = 252 different committees
2.) How many different pairs of cards can be chosen from the five
cards in a royal flush?
nCr =
Solution:
A royal flush consists of
ace, king, queen, jack 5C2 =
and 10 of the same suit.
Given: 5C2 =
n=5
r=2 5C2 =
5C2 = 10 different pairs
3.) A class consists of 10 boys and 8 girls. How many committees of six can
be selected if each committee consists of four boys and two girls?
Solution: The order is not important, thus the problem involves combination.
Select four from 10 boys Select two from 8 girls Multiply the answer
= = from boys and girls
= =
(210)(28)
= 5880 committees
that can be formed.
= =
= 210 = 28
4.) A bag contains five red marbles, seven white marbles, and eight blue
marbles. How many ways can five marbles be selected if all marbles are blue?
Solutions:
Five blue marbles can Five blue marbles can Five blue marbles can
be selected from eight be selected from seven be selected from five
blue in ways. white in ways. red in ways.
nCr = nCr = nCr =
8C5 = 7C0 = 5C0 =
8C5 = 7C0 = 5C0 =
(56)(1)(1)
8C5 = 56 7C0 = 1 5C0 = 1 = 56 ways
5.) A bag contains five red marbles, seven white marbles, and eight blue
marbles. How many ways can five marbles be selected if there should be two
red marbles and three white marbles?
Two red marbles can Three white marbles can Zero red & white marbles
be selected from five be selected from seven can be selected from
red in ways. white in ways. eight blue in ways.
nCr = nCr = nCr =
5C2 = 7C3 = 8C0 =
5C2 = 7C3 = 8C0 =

7.) A basketball team has 15 players in which 9 are seasoned and 6 are
juniors. In how many ways can the first five be chosen if there is only one
junior players?
One junior chosen from 6 4 seasoned chosen from 9

8.) A basketball team has 15 players in which 9 are seasoned and 6 are
juniors. In how many ways can the first five be chosen if there are, at most,
3 junior players?
3 junior chosen from 6 2 seasoned chosen from 9
