In order to ensure the safety of school classrooms the local Fire Marshall does an inspection at Southeast High School every month, looking for faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, etc. At SHS the new STEM Wing has 18 math rooms (including a state-of-the-art Statistics classroom), 14 science rooms, and 4 Engineering & Technology rooms. The science rooms are divided into 6 biology, 4 physics and 4 chemistry rooms. Each month, the Fire Marshall randomly picks one of the rooms in the new wing to inspect each month. Define the folowing events: S= the event the selected room is a Science room B= the event the selected room is a Biology room C= the event the selected room is a Chemistry room P the event the selected room is a Physics room M= the event the selected room is a Math room St the event the selected room is a beautiful state-of-the-art Statistics room ET the event the selected room is an Engineering or Tech room Calculate the probabilities of the events descrıbed below P(S) = P(St or P) = P(B | 5) =,
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.
