Aprenderás a
- List all combinations in small problems, such as outfits from 3 shirts and 2 pairs of trousers, using a table or tree diagram.
- Explain how an organised list guarantees that no possibility is missed or repeated.
- Discover that 3 shirts and 2 pairs of trousers give 3 × 2 outfits, and generalise.
Definición
- A tree diagram shows each choice as a branch, so that each path from the start to an end is one possibility.
Teorema
- If a first choice can be made in m ways and a second in n ways, there are m × n combined choices.
- Three different objects can be arranged in a row in exactly 6 ways.
Errores frecuentes
- Counting the same possibility twice when order does not matter, as with handshakes.
- Stopping when no new possibility comes to mind, instead of using a system.
