which questions

glacial matrix
#

11-18😿

static hare
#

ok

#

start with 11

#

what have you tried

glacial matrix
#

Well… hehehe none😿

untold current
#

Hm

#

I think this is combinatorics…

glacial matrix
#

Combination🫶🏻

graceful kayak
#

ok so # 11

#

uhh

static hare
#

alright, in combinatorics you have two main questions:

  1. do we care about the order in which the members are chosen?
  2. can we have repeated choices?
#

answer these 2 questions

graceful kayak
#

7!/(4!*3!)

#

whatever that is

#

is your answer

untold current
glacial matrix
#

I’m so confused😿😿😿

#

😞😞🙏

static hare
#

why are you just giving the answer

untold current
graceful kayak
glacial matrix
#

How’d you get that? I don’t even know how to solve it😿

untold current
graceful kayak

graceful kayak
#

some fruit one sent

untold current
#

It’s 7 choose 4

graceful kayak
glacial matrix
#

WHATTTTT wait so what’s the answer in number 11?😿😿😿

graceful kayak
#

u see this formula

molten bloom
graceful kayak
#

"n" is the total of the numbers

#

so like the amount of options

untold current
graceful kayak
#

in this case its7

molten bloom
#

oh so 11 to 18?

untold current
graceful kayak
#

r is the size of the "group" you are making

peak socket
untold current
#

She needs help solving them as she’s lost

glacial matrix
#

Yup only 11-16

#

I mean

#

11-18

#

That’s the only questions needed

molten bloom
#

Then how did u do 16

static hare
#

hence the question

graceful kayak
untold current
static hare
#

but there's too many ppl here

glacial matrix
#

I apologize in advance for stressing yall all out🙏

untold current
#

She probably just need a refresher

molten bloom
#

That's what i mean

untold current
#

Yeah let’s let eor help

#

We should go back to discussy

#

#discussion

untold current
graceful kayak
#

Ok so theres 2 variables to worry about here, "n" and "r"

"n" is the total amount of options in the equation
In #11 the "n" would be 7

"r" is the size of the desired group
In #11 the "r" would be 4

Then plug them in

   7!

(7!-4!) * 4!

Then punch that in

#

@glacial matrix

untold current
#

It should be 7!/4!(3!)

glacial matrix
#

Ohhhhh OKAY OKAYYY I get it

untold current
#

Mhm

glacial matrix
#

But how do you get the final answer

#

Or like how do you solve the whole thing

#

What am I saying😭🙏

graceful kayak
untold current
static hare
#

just giving the formula is useless if you don't explain when to use it and why it works

untold current
#

@graceful kayak let’s go back to discussy

graceful kayak
glacial matrix
#

But don’t worry I understand the formula

#

It’s just that I don’t understand how to solve the whole thing

static hare
#

@glacial matrix say each of our 7 had a number, and you chose a committee by calling out one by one the number of every person on the committee, say 1,3,4,7
would calling out 3,1,7,4 be a different committee?

glacial matrix
#

I’m not sure about my answer but maybe yeah since it’s in different orders

static hare
#

but is it a different committee?

glacial matrix
#

No?🙏

static hare
#

it's still the same members, right?

glacial matrix
#

Yeah yeah just unordered

static hare
#

a committee doesn't have an order of members

glacial matrix
#

Oh

#

😞🙏

static hare
#

if you chose 1 and then 3 you'd still end up with the same committee as if you chose 3 and 1, right?

#

does that make sense?

#

they end up in the same meeting room regardless

glacial matrix
#

Yeahhh

static hare
#

great, so question 1 is answered, we don't care about order

#

as in, 1,3,4,7 is the same as choosing 7,3,4,1

#

now, can we have any repeats

glacial matrix
#

So what do I put?😭

static hare
#

patience

glacial matrix
#

OHHH WAIT OKIEE

static hare
#

I want to explain the logic behind this

glacial matrix
#

I understand better

#

Okay okay

static hare
glacial matrix
#

No

static hare
#

correct

glacial matrix
#

Yay

static hare
#

so we cannot have any repeats

glacial matrix
#

Mhmmmmm

static hare
#

for this kind of question, we have the "choose" function (often called the binomial function) which answers the question how many ways can you choose groups of size n out of a bigger group of size m without repeats and without caring about order

for example, ${5 \binom 3}$ (also sometimes written $^5C_3$ and is said out loud as "5 choose 3") is the amount of ways to choose groups of 3 ppl out of a bigger group of 5 without caring about order and without repeats

WAIT WAIT WAIT I HAVE A QUESTION

#

This correct???!?

static hare
#

,w 7c4

static hare
#

yes

glacial matrix
#

Yayyy

static hare
#

but do you understand why we use the choose?

glacial matrix
#

Yupperssss

static hare
#

you should've derived it in class

glacial matrix
#

Yup yup I will if they call me HHAAHHAHAHA

static hare
#

explaining why it works is a bit over my ability on discord

glacial matrix
#

ikr

static hare
#

ok, what about question 12?

#

how would you solve that?

static hare
glacial matrix
#

4845 ways

static hare
glacial matrix
#

Wait I’m finishing the rest

#

This one

static hare
#

correct

#

any questions?

glacial matrix
#

None anymore heheh thank youuuuu

static hare
#

great

#

good luck
