5.1-7.2

Basic Counting Rules- ch. 5

• SUM rule (for +)• PRODUCT rule (for *)• INCLUSION/EXCLUSION• COMPLEMENT rule– number= total – opposite– Ex: number with at least 2 vowels =

total – (number with 0 or 1 vowels)

5.1, 5.3, 5.5• 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 5.5 (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

Binomial

• P(X=k)= nCk * p k q n-k

• = np

• σ = (npq)

Basic probability rules

• P(E)=|E|/|S|• 0<= P(E) <= 1• P(E ‘ ) = 1 – P(E)

• For Bayes Thm: do tree diagram

• Expected value: E(X)= =• for binomial = np

Summation formula

• Given: =•

Solving 2nd degree LHRR-K

For degree 2: the characteristic equation is r2-c1r –c2=0 (roots are used to find explicit formula)

Basic Solution: an=α1r1n+ α2r2

n where r1 and r2

are roots of the characteristic equation

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+ α2r2

n for n=0, 1, 2… where α1 and α2

are constants.

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=α1r0

n+ α2 n r0n

for n=0, 1, 2… where α1 and α2 are constants.
