Basic Counting Rules- Ch. 6
•
•
•
•
SUM rule (for +)
PRODUCT rule (for *)
INCLUSION/EXCLUSION
COMPLEMENT rule
–
number= total – opposite
– Ex: password with at least 2 vowels =
total – (password with 0 or 1 vowels)
Counting cases- from sec 6.1, 6.3, 6.5

2.
3.
4.
5.
Order matters, repetition allowed
Multiplication Rule
Ex: Social Security numbers
Order matters, repetition NOT allowed
Permutations: P(n,r)= n!/(n-r)!
Ex: number of ways to pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd from 30
Order DOESN’T matter, repetition allowed
section 6.5 (stars and bars; objects and dividers)
n categories, n-1 dividers, r objects
C(n-1+r, r) = C(n-1+r, n-1)
Order DOESN’T matter, repetition NOT allowed
Combinations: C(n,r)= n!/ [(n-r)!*r!]
Ex: number of ways to pick a committee of 3 from 30
C(n-1+r, r) = C(n-1+r, n-1)
Permutations with DUPLICATE items
n! / (n1 ! * n2 ! * n3 ! *…)
Ex: how many ways to rearrange the letters in MISSISSIPPI
Ex: how many ways to put 3 identical Finite books, 4 identical Bio books, and 5 identical Calc
books on a shelf
Basic probability rules
Know these:
• P(E)=|E|/|S|
• 0<= P(E) <= 1
• P(E ‘ ) = 1 – P(E)
• Know how to set up Bayes Thm tree diagrams
These will be given:
• Bayes Theorem
• P(X=k)= nCk * p k q n-k
•
Mean or Expected value μ = E(x)=
•
Special case: Binomial μ = E(x)=np;
Standard deviation σ = √(npq)

Thm. 1: Let c1, c2 be elements of the real
numbers. Suppose r2-c1r –c2=0 has two
distinct roots r1 and r2,
Then the sequence {a n} is a solution of the
recurrence relation an = ____________
iff an= __________ for n=0, 1, 2… where______
Thm. 1 for two roots
Theorem 1: Let c1, c2 be elements of the real
numbers.
Suppose r2-c1r –c2=0 has two distinct roots r1
and r2,
Then the sequence {a n} is a solution of the
recurrence relation an = c1an-1 + c2 an-2
iff an=α1r1n+ α2r2n for n=0, 1, 2… where α1 and α2
are constants.
Steps for Solving 2nd degree LHRR-K
For degree 2: the characteristic equation is
r2-c1r –c2=0 (roots are used to find explicit formula)
• Find characteristic equation
• Find roots
• Basic Solution: an=α1r1n+ α2r2n where r1 and r2
are roots of the characteristic equation
• Solve for α1,α2 to find solution
• Prove this is the solution
Thm. 2 for one root
Theorem 2: Let c1, c2 be elements of the real
numbers.
Suppose r2-c1r –c2=0 has only one root r0 ,
Then the sequence {a n} is a solution of the
recurrence relation an = c1an-1 + c2 an-2 iff
an=α1r0n+ α2 n r0n
for n=0, 1, 2… where α1 and α2 are constants.
Ex: 6. an =8an-1 -16an-2 for n≥2; a0=2
and a1=20.
