Section 2.3: Counting Techniques
- State the General Principle of Counting, and use the General Principle of Counting to determine the number of outcomes from a described procedure.
- Compute the number of permutations of size \(k\) from a set of \(n\) distinct objects given a description of a process that results in such permutations.
- Compute the number of combinations of size \(k\) from a set of \(n\) distinct objects given a description of a process that results in such combinations.
Section 2.5: Independence
- State the rough intuition behind independence of two events.
- State the four equivalent conditions needed for two events to be independent.
- Use independence, in addition to the previous probability rules (addition rule, multiplication rule, complementation rule, etc.), to find the probability of a compound event.
- Distinguish between independent and mutually exclusive events.
- State the conditions that must be met for a collection of \(n\) events to be mutually independent.
