In the textbook, Section 5.5 Counting Techniques discusses permutations and combinations.
  1. Once certain conditions are met, the number of arrangements of objects from distinct objects, where repetition is not allowed, can be determined using combinations or permutations. Which condition needs to
    be determined before deciding to use combinations or permutations to calculate the number of arrangements of objects from distinct objects, where repetition is not allowed?
  2. When using combinations or permutations, is it possible that ? Why or why not?

  1. Determine if the order of the objects matters.
    • If order matters, use permutations.
    • If order does not matter, use combinations.
  2. No, cannot be greater than when repetition is not allowed because there aren’t enough distinct objects to form such an arrangement.

Solución

  1. The key condition is whether the order of the objects matters.
  • If order matters, the problem deals with permutations.
  • If order does not matter, the problem deals with combinations.
  1. No, it is not possible for when repetition is not allowed.
  • Since the objects are distinct and repetition cannot be used to “replace” an object already chosen, it is impossible to select more than objects.
  • If , there aren’t enough distinct objects to form the arrangement.

To decide whether to use combinations or permutations, the key condition to determine is whether the order of the selected objects matters. If the arrangement or sequence of the objects is significant, you’ll want to use permutations. But if the order does not matter, combinations are the way to go. Think of it like picking toppings for pizza: the order of toppings is irrelevant, hence combinations, but in a race, finishing positions matter, so that’s permutations!
Regarding the second question, if , it is not possible to select objects from distinct objects without repetition because you’d run out of unique objects. For instance, if you only have 5 different colored marbles (n=5), you can’t choose 6 different marbles (r=6) to make a selection. Once you’ve selected all distinct marbles, there are none left to choose from—it’s a bit like trying to fill a classroom with more students than there are desks!
