A bag has five balls numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in it. Two times a ball is drawn at random and with replacement (this means the ball is put back in the bag after it had been drawn). Calculate the probability that at least one of the balls drawn had an odd number on it. (Give the answer as a fraction in lowest terms.)
Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.
