And list all three letter possible arrangement.
Given the 4-letter be filled. _ _ _.
4 choices for the first position 432 2 choices left for the third position

are alike. The number of distinguishable permutations of n objects when p are alike, q are alike, r are

alike, and so on, is given by P = 𝑝!𝑞!𝑟!
Example: Find the number of permutations of the letters of the word EVEN.

2. Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the digits of the number 348 838.
3. How many distinguishable permutations are possible with all the letters of the word
ELLIPSES?

Circular permutation – the different possible arrangements of objects in a circle. The number of
permutations, P, of n objects around a circle is given by P = (n – 1)!.
Example: In how many ways can 3 people be seated around a circular table?
The arrangement 1-2-3 in (a) above is the same as 2-3-1 and 3-1-2, meaning these 3 permutations
are just one and same. Notice also that the arrangements 1-3-2, 3-2-1 and 2-1-3 are also just the
same as seen in (b).
So the circular permutations, P, of 3 objects is:
6 3! 3 ∙ 2!
P = 3 =3 = = 2! = 2 0r P = (n -1)! = (3 -1)! = 2! = 2

Activity Title : Probability of a union of two events
Learning Target : Illustrates the probability of a union of two events
Reference(s) : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module
LAS Writer : Joseph C. Gramatica
The union of two or more sets is the set that contains all the elements of the two or more sets.
Union is denoted by the symbol ∪.
 The general probability addition rule for the union of two events states that
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B) where A∩B is the intersection of the two sets.
A B
Example 1:
A∩B
A={1,3,5,7} and B={1,2,4,6}. Notice that there is a common element 1 in the union which is also
called the intersection of set A and B: A∩B = {1}
 The addition rule can be shortened to P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B) if the sets are disjoint or mutually
exclusive. That means that the sets do not have elements in common or they don’t intersect.
A B
Example 2:
A={1,3,5,7,9} and B={12,4,6,8}. Notice that there is a no common element in the union which
tells us that set A and B and are mutually exclusive and do not intersect, which means that A∩B= { }
or an empty set.

the blank.

Mutually Exclusive Events are events that cannot occur at the same time. These are sets that
have no common elements and can never intersect.
Examples:
The following are examples of Mutually Exclusive Events.
1. Event of getting head or getting tail when tossing a coin once.

Reason: We cannot get both head and tail if we are just tossing the coin once.
2. Event of getting yellow or green ball when we draw one ball from a jar filled with blue, yellow,
orange and green balls.
Reason: We cannot draw yellow and green ball at the same time when only one ball is
allowed to be drawn.

Identify the following events if it is mutually exclusive or not. Write ME if the events are
mutually exclusive and NME if the events are non-mutually exclusive.

LAS Writer : Glydel Mae V. Saragena
To review, Mutually Exclusive Events are events that cannot occur at the same time. These
are sets that have no common elements and can never intersect.
To solve for the probability when events A and B are mutually exclusive:
P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
Examples:
1. The event where you roll a die and get “2” or “6”.
In rolling a die, 2 and 6 cannot occur at the same time. Therefore, these are mutually
exclusive events. When we roll a single die, possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. To
solve:
P(2 or 6) = P(2) + P(6)

P(2 or 6) = + =

2. If a card is drawn from a standard deck of cards (52 cards), find the probability of getting King or
Queen.
These are called mutually exclusive events since both King and Queen cannot occur at
the same time when 1 card is drawn from the deck of cards. We knew that 4 out of 52 on the
deck of cards are Kings and 4 out of 52 also are Queens. So,
P(King or Queen) = 𝑃(𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔) + 𝑃(𝑄𝑢𝑒𝑒𝑛)
