What is the formula for writing how many combinations I can make with (A, B, C, D)?
it would be a+b+c=d I think
so 12 is the answer, is there a formula for finding it?
n! is the formula
so u have 4 letters, that means 4!=4x3x2x1=24
i cant have any repetition though
The answer is: A B C D AB AC AD BC BD CD ABC ABD BCD CDA ABCD
well these are all the possible out comes
the answer says 15..
then u should use the C notation for combunation
u have to know how many repletion u have to all possibilities then u would get the right answer
i can't see in the question u can't have repetition. but let me analyse it for u
ABCD ABDC ACBD ADBC
THESE ARE FOR THE As ok
The question is how many possibilities can I make with (A, B, C, D) AB = BA ABC = CBA
ABCD = ABDC = ACBD = ADBC all the same
now let's go for the B
OK BUT PUT THAT NOTATION IN THE QUESTION
you have to ask the right question to get the right answer
the question on the top of this page mean n! is the formula
ah ok
well i would use
\[\frac{ n! }{ (n-r)! }\]
according to the change in the question excluding repition
repetition* sorry
what should r be?
u have to make sure what the question is telling u because if the question is different then u could have another formula such as
\[\frac{ n! }{ (n-r)!r! }\]
look let me give u an example famous in text books
Ok the question is: How many possibilities can you write with (A, B, C, D) where AB = BA, ABCD = BACD etc.
yes so is how many ways you can put the letters in order, so u reduce it by subtracting the order which is r
so what is "r"?
\[\frac{ 4! }{ (4-r)! }\]
the answer is 15 it is not possible
if u have 4 teams of basketball or football, and u want them to play against each other only once which means they do not repeat the game, how many games are played?
i have no idea! this isnt a data management course, i really want to just know the formula for how to calculate this
the answer is A B C D AB AB AD BC BD CD ABC ABD BCD CDA ABCD = 15
what is the formula to calculate?
i gave u the formula
but what is "r"?
r is the size of the group that you are choosing right?
how many groups of 4 can be made from a set of 6 distinct elements? n C r, where n = 6 and r = 4 6 C 4 since nPr is simpler to calculate for me, i do (nPr)/r! = nCr 6.5.4.3 ------ = 3.5 = 15 is 6C4 4.3.2
how many groups of 0, then groups of 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 can be made using abcd? 4C0 + 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4
