Raerin said:It's a permutation question, so I don't know where else to post this.
How many eight digit even numbers are possible with the digits 7 5 4 5 7 5 0 7?
Please explain step by step.
A permutation question is a type of mathematical problem that involves determining the number of possible arrangements or orders of a set of items or elements.
To solve a permutation question, you need to identify the number of items or elements in the set and the specific conditions or restrictions given in the problem. Then, use the appropriate formula (nPr or n!) to calculate the number of possible arrangements.
A permutation involves determining the number of possible arrangements of a set of items where the order matters, while a combination involves determining the number of ways to choose a subset of items from a larger set where the order does not matter.
The formula for calculating permutations is nPr = n! / (n-r)!, where n is the total number of items or elements and r is the number of items being selected or arranged.
Yes, permutation questions can be applied to real-life situations, such as determining the number of possible seating arrangements at a dinner party or the number of possible outcomes in a game of cards. They are also commonly used in statistics and probability problems.
