Suppose there are fifteen students in a classroom, and you are looking to build a team of five students for a tug-of-war. How many different groups of five students could you create?
::假设一个教室里有15个学生,而你正在寻找建立一个由5个学生组成的团队来进行一场拔河战争。你能创造多少个由5个学生组成的不同群体呢?After the following lesson, you should have no problem solving question of this type.
::在以下课后,您不应遇到任何解决这类问题的问题。Calculating Combinations
::计算组合In other lessons, we have spent quite a bit of time learning how to count permutations , which are arrangements of items that take order into account. Now we will be considering combinations , which are groups of items only concerned with which items are in the arrangement, regardless of the order.
::在其他教训中,我们花费了大量时间学习如何计算变数,这些变数是按顺序排列的项目安排。 现在我们将考虑组合,即只涉及安排中的项目的组合,不管顺序如何。Naturally there are fewer unique combinations of a particular group of items than there are permutations, since there may be many permutations of the same single combination of items. In fact, the formula for counting combinations without repetition is actually just a modification of the formula for permutations where the denominator is increased. Take a look at the two formulas side-by-side:
::当然,某一组特定项目的独特组合比变式要少,因为同一单一组合项目可能有许多变异。 事实上,不重复计算组合的公式实际上只是对增加分母的变异公式的修改。 看看两个公式并列:
::变异: n!! 合并: n!
!xr!
Where number of objects to choose from, and the number chosen
::n =要从中选择的对象数,r=所选择的数字Notice how the combination formula is the same, with only the addition of the in the denominator of the fraction. This makes sense conceptually, given that we need to reduce the number of arrangements that are the same items in a different order.
::注意组合公式是如何相同的, 只要在分数分母的分母中添加 r 。 这在概念上是有道理的, 因为我们需要按照不同的顺序减少相同项目的安排数量 。In summary, to calculate the number of combinations possible from items chosen at a time, use the combination formula:
::简言之,为了计算一次从所选 n 项中选择 r 的组合数,请使用组合公式: n! (n-r)! xr!Real-World Application: Ice Cream
::真实世界应用程序: 冰淇淋The local ice cream shop carries twelve flavors. How many different three-scoop bowls are possible?
::当地的冰淇淋店有12种口味 有多少不同的三勺碗?There are twelve flavors, so . We are creating bowls with three scoops each, so :
::有十二种口味, 所以N=12。我们各创造三勺的碗, 所以 r=3:
::12!!(12) x3) 3x3! 12!!9!x3! 12x11x11x10x9x8x7x6x6x5x4x3x3x2x1(9x8x7x6x5x4x3x3x2x1)(3x2x1) 13206220 不同口味Real-World Application: Forming Groups
::现实世界应用:组成组If there are thirteen students in a room, how many ways can a group of five be formed from them?
::如果一个房间里有13名学生,那么从他们那里可以形成多少种五人小组的方法?There are thirteen students to choose from, so
::有13名学生可以选择,所以N=13We are choosing five at a time, so
::我们每次选择五个, 所以 r=5
::13! 13! 13! 13! 5! 5!) 13 12x11 10x10x95! 15444401201287 5个可能的组别Real-World Application: Student Council
::现实世界应用:学生理事会If your student council has seven members, how many ways are there to reach a majority vote?
::如果你的学生委员会有七名成员, 有多少方法可以达到多数票?There are seven members to choose from, so . A majority vote is either four, five, six, or seven votes, so we need to calculate the number of combinations for each , and 7, and add them together.
::7. 多数票为4票、5票、6票或7票,因此,我们需要计算每个r=4,5,6票和7票的组合数,并加在一起。a. Four votes:

::假设一个教室里有15个学生,而你正在寻找建立一个由5个学生组成的团队来进行一场拔河战争。你能创造多少个由5个学生组成的不同群体呢?This is a combinations problem requiring us to choose items five at a time from a pool of 15, which can be notated as 15C5 (read as "fifteen, choose five"). Use the combinations formula with n=15 and r=5:
::这是一个组合问题, 需要我们从 15 组中一次选择项目 5, 共 15 个, 共 15 个, 共 15 C 5 个( 读为“ 15 个, 选择 5 个 ” ) 。 使用 n= 15 和 r= 5 的组合公式 :
::组合 ! (n-r) ! xr != 15! (( 15- 5) ! x5!) = 15. 10! x5 ! = 15x14x14x13x12x115! = 360, 3601203,003 different teams
