Probability Calculations/ Random Number/ Factorials
Permutations | A permutation is a selection of objects in which the order of the |
| objects matters. |
| Example: To determine the possible number of different |
| arrangements using 4 items selected from 10 items. |
| [10] [SHIFT] [nPr] [4] [=] 5040 |
Combinations | A combination is a selection of objects from a collection and order |
| is irrelevant. |
| Example: To determine the number of different combinations of 4 |
| items selected from 10 items |
| [10] [nCr] [4] [=] 210 |
Factorials | To calculate a factorial, use [SHIFT] [x!] |
Random Number | To generate a random number between 0 and 1, |
| press [SHIFT] [Ran#] [=] |
