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.
![Newborn Elephant Weights Newborn elephant calves usually weigh between 200 and 250 pounds-until October 2006, when an Asian elephant at the
Houston (Texas) Zoo gave birth to a male calf weighing in at a whopping 368 pounds! Mack (like the truck) is believed to be the heaviest elephant calf ever born
at a facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. If, indeed, the mean weight for newborn elephant calves is 225 pounds with a standard
deviation of 45 pounds, what is the probability of a newborn weighing at least 368 pounds? Assume that weights of newborn elephants are normally distributed.
Use a TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator and round the answer to at least four decimal places.
