nCr: Combinations
In this probability worksheet, students utilize factorials or Pascal's Triangle to calculate the combination given in the form of nCr. There are 4 questions.
Curated OER
Permutations
Learn how to solve the probability that an event will occur. Learners also employ permutations and combinations to find the amount of time it takes for an event to occur. They use the Ti to create a visual of the events.
