4/11 Algebra 2 - Fundamental Counting Principle & Permutations

Today we start our study of probability, beginning with the Fundamental Counting Principle and permutations. In order to find the probability of certain events later in the chapter, we must be able to calculate the number of ways certain events can happen, which is what we will focus on today. Students will take notes on some defintions and example problems and then we will do some more examples together. To see an illustrated example of the Fundamental Counting Principle, click here.
