Geometric model:
Based on geometric series
• From Algebra 2 (hope you remember!):
series = adding a sequence of numbers
• Geometric sequence=a sequence of numbers
that increases by a constant multiple
– Example: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, …
• Compare arithmetic sequence: increases by adding a single
number, e.g., 1 3 5 7 9 …. where you add 2 to each
successive term
– Each number is TWICE as large as the number before
– Another way of putting it is that the ratio of a number
to its neighbor is constant, i.e., xn+1/xn=some constant
3
Geometric model:
generalizing the model
• The definition of a geometric series can be
generalized to the following:
or (if you want to show all the exponents):
• Note that if you take the ratio of one term to
another, each term increases by a multiple of r
4
Geometric model:
series models failure/success
• Think about the sequences we’ve been
looking at:
fffs (3 failures before one success)
qqqqqqqp (7 failures before a success)
• What does this look like?
• You can model both of these as terms in a
geometric series:
fffs = f3s
qqqqqqqp = q7p
5
Geometric model:
geometric sequence the source of the
name
• The nth term in a geometric series is the
equivalent of saying “n-1 failures followed by
one success” (qn-1p)
• Geometric series are also useful because there
are formulas to calculate the sum of n entries
• Hopefully, this background makes it easier to
understand and remember the model
6
Permutations and combinations:
counting without replacements
• To understand the binomial theorem, we need to
review permutations and combinations.
• In theory, you studied this in Algebra 2, where
permutations and combinations were supposed
to be about 10% of the CST you took.
– This is only “in theory”
– Most Algebra 2 teachers skip this part entirely
• So let’s do a quick review to remind you of how
these types of probabilities work
7
Permutations and combinations:
basic ideas
• The concept behind permutations AND
combinations is simply that you’re selecting
samples without replacement
• E.g., you’re drawing cards from a deck.
Typically, once you draw a card, you don’t
replace it, so the probability or number of
possibilities for the next card changes
• Keep this model in mind as we go through the
examples.
8
Permutations and combinations:
introducing the concept
• Let’s select three cards from a 52-card deck at random.
How many possible combinations can we have?
• 1st card: 52 possibilities (all cards are still in the deck
• 2nd card: 51 possibilities (we’ve already drawn one card
and haven’t replaced it)
• 3rd card: 50 possibilities (2 cards already drawn and not
replaced; 50 cards left in the deck)
• Total number of possibilities: 52×51× 50=132,600
• We will use this concept for BOTH permutations and
combinations
9
Permutations and combinations:
permutations, aka order matters
• Permutations are the simplest, so we start with
them.
• Permutations are where ORDER MATTERS.
• Examples:
– A password with distinct entries (32516 is not the
same as 32561)
– Money (would you rather have $321 or $123?)
– A hand in 5-card stud poker
– License plates/serial numbers: (ACE 723 isn’t CEA 237)
10
Permutations and combinations:
permutation notation
• Abbreviated as P(n, k)
• Translation to English: out of n objects, pick k
at random where order matters.
• Other notations: nPk,
• Computationally, P(n, k) is as follows:
n×(n-1)×(n-2)×…×(n-k+1)
• The problem with this formulation is that it’s
hard to write algebraically
11
Permutations and combinations:
introducing factorial
• Examples:
5! (read as “five factorial) = 5×4×3×2×1=120
10! =10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 =3,628,800
• General formula of n!
n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…4×3×2×1
• Special cases:
0!=1 and 1!=1
12
Permutations and combinations:
why the factorial notation?
• Let’s illustrate with an example: 7P3
• In human language, that means how many
permutations (order matters!) can we make
when choosing from 7 objects?
• Answer: 7×6×5 = 210. But we’d have to write
this all out.
• Instead, we have a formula, which we’ll
explore on the next slide:
13
Permutations and combinations:
applying the permutation formula
• Let’s see how to apply
• Apply it to our earlier problem of 7P3
– Remember that n=7 and k=3
• 7P3 = 7!/(7-3)! = 7!/4!
• So let’s write it out as a fraction:
• By using the formula, we can manipulate it
algebraically in a way we couldn’t do with 7(6)(5)
14
Permutations and combinations:
permutation practice
• Here are two permutations: 12 P4 and 10P4
• Spend 2-3 minutes and calculate each of
these.
• When you’re done, somebody volunteer and
work them out on the board.
• After you agree on an answer, check them on
the next slide.

16
Permutations and combinations:
combinations (order doesn’t matter)
• Examples of combinations:
– Bridge hands (you sort into suits after you get
them, anyway)
– Any sorted list (alphabetically, numerically top to
bottom or bottom to top)
– People selected for a project (goal is participation,
not ranking by when selected)
• Talk among yourselves and come up with 3-4
combinations. Share, and decide as a group
whether they are or not.
17
Permutations and combinations:
combinations: danger of over-counting
• If we use the formula for permutations, we’ll
end up with too many that are the same
• Let’s explore how we can reduce the number
logically
• Suppose we’re selecting three numbers at a
time. If we draw 1, 2, and 3, how many
different permutations can we get with just
those 3 numbers? Take a couple of minutes
and see what you come up with.
18
Permutations and combinations:
combinations: groups of 3
Here is a list of all the
possible permutations
of the numbers 1, 2,
and 3:
1. 1 2 3
2. 1 3 2
3. 2 1 3
4. 2 3 1
5. 3 1 2
6. 3 2 1
• To get six from 3 sounds
like a factorial, and it is
• 3!= 3×2×1=6
• There’s a better way of
analyzing it, though,
which we’ll do on the
next slide
19
Permutations and combinations:
combinations: k!
• Imagine that we have three slots for the
numbers: _____ ______ ______
• How many choices to we have for the first slot? 3.
• How many for the second slot?
– 2, because we’ve already placed one of the numbers
in the first slot
• How many for the last slot?
– Just 1, because we’ve used up all the others
• This can be generalized to k!
20
Permutations and combinations:
combinations—how much did we overcount?
• Each of the groups is overcounted 6 times if we
use the permutation formula
• Using C for combination, this means that we can
express the relationship between permutations
and combination as this:
nPr
= r! × C
• In regular language, using the permutation
formula gives us r! too many combinations.
• On the next slide, we’ll see how to use similar
nomenclature and come up with the formulae for
combinations.
21
Permutations and combinations:
combinations: formula and nomenclature
• We can write the symbols for combinations
like those for permutations: C(n, r) or nCr or
• Bringing in the formula from the last slide and
rewriting it:
nPr
= r!nCr
Divide by r! and get

playing the narration is optional.
• If you want to hear the narration, click the icon in the
lower left-hand corner of the slide.
• If you don’t click the icon, the narration will not play.
• Hope this makes it easier for you guys to negotiate
through the slides!
• Automatic narration resumes on slide 45

Homework:
Exercise 8
• Same procedurally as Exercise 7
– Success (good chip)=98%=0.98
– Failure (bad chip, rejected)=2%=0.02
• But remember….you may have to change your
definition of “success” and “failure”, as we’ll
see
• But now, for the solutions….
28
Homework:
Exercise 8(a)
• Probability that 5th chip is first bad chip?
• Already, we have to change “failure” to
“success” and “success” to “failure”
• Set-up: first 4 chips are “failures,” i.e., they’re
ok; the 5th chip is the “success,” i.e., it’s bad
(don’t look at me; I just solve them, I don’t make them up)
• So, ffffs, or (0.98)4(0.02)=0.0184
29
Homework:
Exercise 8(b)
• Probability of finding ONE (1) bad one within
the first ten tested
• This is equivalent to asking what’s the
likelihood of find NO bad ones (all good ones)
• There’s a language issue here: it’s really
finding one OR MORE bad ones, which is 1P(no bad chips in first 10)
• 1-p10=1.000-(0.98)10=1.000-0.817=0.183
30
Homework:
Exercise 10
• How many do you expect to test before find a
bad one?
• Same set-up as Exercise 9.
• This type of question for the geometric model
requires finding the mean
• For the geometric model, the mean is 1/p
• p, which means “success,” actually is the failure
rate of chips, and is 0.02
• Therefore, the mean is 1/0.02 = 50
31
Homework:
Exercise 12
• Same set-up as Exercise 11 (really! Would I lie
to you?)
• p=0.08 (8% of all males are colorblind, which
may explain men’s fashion sense)
• Therefore, what’s the rate of men who are
NOT colorblind? (q)
Answer: 1-p=1.00-0.08=0.92
32
Homework:
Exercise 12(a)
• Q: On average, how many men should the
research expect to check to find one who is
colorblind?
• Obviously, requests the mean, or
1/p=1/0.08=12.5
• It’s perfectly OK for the average to be a fraction.
• If you added up lots and lots of samples, that
would be your average. It’s to give as a general
idea of how many people you need to check, not
a precise answer. After all, how do you check half
a person?
33
Homework:
Exercise 12(b)
• No colorblind in 1st 4 men?
• Straightforward: 4 straight “failures”
• Answer: (0.92)4=0.716
34
Homework:
Exercise 12(c)
• First colorblind man is 6th checked?
• Straightforward, but remember that “success”
is finding a colorblind man (0.08) and “failure”
is NOT finding a colorblind man!
• Five failures, followed by one success = fffffs =
(0.92)5(.08)= 0.659 × 0.08 = 0.0527
• (Remember to use the “^” key above the
division sign—0.92^5= (0.92)5
35
Homework:
Exercise 12(d)
• Probability of finding somebody who’s
colorblind before testing the 10th man?
• This is the complement of finding NOBODY
who was colorblind during the 1st 9 men.
• I.e., 1-q9 = 1.000-(0.92)9 = 1.000 –0.472 =
0.528 (rounded up from 0.52 78387367)
36
Homework:
Exercise 13
• This exercise is a combination of the binomial
model (which we haven’t quite gotten to yet)
and the geometric. We can do the first 3
subparts using the geometric model.
• Binomial or geometric, we always use the
same setup with p and q
• We’ll start with success=p=lefthandness=0.13
(I like this since I’m left-handed)
• Failure = q = 0.87 (or 1 – 0.13, which is 1 - p)
37
Homework:
Exercise 13(a)
• The first lefty is the fifth person chosen.
• Very straightforward: ffffs or qqqqp
• (0.87)4(0.13)1=0.0745
38
Homework:
Exercise 13(b)
• Q: “there are some lefties among the 5
people”
• This requires a clever answer….rather than
calculate…how many combinations….lots,
anyway, let’s calculate ZERO lefties and
subtract that from one.
• In other words: 1-fail-fail-fail-fail-fail= 1-(0.87)5
=.502
39
Homework:
Exercise 13(c)
• “the first lefty is the second or third person”
• Model: you have two different components,
which we’ll then add.
• 1st possibility: fail, followed by success (no lefty
first, lefty second)=0.87(.13)=.1131
• 2nd possibility: two fails, followed by a success =
.872(.13)=0.0984
• Add 1st and 2nd and get 0.2114
• We will do (d) through (f) tomorrow.
40
Homework:
Exercise 14
• Similar to Exercise 13, except that we have six
shots at a target, and a different success rate:
p=0.80
q=0.20
• She also shoots 6 arrows, which we will need
to remember for answering the later
questions.
41
Homework:
Exercise 14(a)
• “first bull’s-eye comes on the third arrow.”
• Again, another very straightforward geometric
sequence calculation: two fails (0.20) and a
success (0.8)
• Answer is (0.2)2(.8)=.04(.8)=0.032, or 3.2%
• Note: we don’t need (and don’t care about)
anything that happened after the third arrow.
42
Homework:
Exercise 14(b)
• “She misses the bull’s eye at least once”
• Implicit is the fact that she shoots 6 arrows.
• This also calls for a clever response, unless you
want to be calculation 6! permutations!
• The clever response is that we only need to
calculate the case where she NEVER misses,
which is 6 successive successes, or (0.8)6 = 0.262
• Now we subtract this from 1, which equals 0.738,
which is the percentage where she gets between
zero and five bull’s-eyes.
43
Homework:
Exercise 14(c)
•
•
•
•
“her first bull’s-eye comes on the 4th or 5th arrow.”
This is almost identical to 13(c)
1st bull’s-eye on 4th arrow =fffs=(0.2)3(0.8) = 0.0064
2nd bull’s-eye on 5th arrow=ffffs (4 f’s, not 3) =
(0.2)4(0.8)
– Calculator tip: don’t recalculate, just multiply your prior
answers by 0.2……discuss why
– You should get .00128
• Add both together and get 0.0064+0.00128 = 0.00768
• We will work on (d) through (f) tomorrow.
44
Stop for today
• We will start the
binomial material
tomorrow, and finish it
next week.
• You will be doing some
intense calculations to
see how the binomial
coefficient works, so
bring your calculators
and get lots of rest!
45
The binomial model:
jumping in with both feet
• There’s a close connection between tree
diagrams, combinations, expanding binomial
expressions, and the binomial model
• I’ve debated about giving you a lot of background
on it to show you the connections FIRST
• Instead, I think it will be more effective to show
you how to solve the problems, and then show
you the connections, which then may be more
meaningful.

The binomial model:
not quite the geometric model
• Remember that the geometric model tells us,
for example, what’s the probability that a
basketball player shooting 80% (clearly not
Jose Fuentes) will not make a basket until his
5th shot
• Rather, the binomial model lets us determine
how many ways there are of him making, say
2 shots out of 5
• Why is this complicated?
56
The binomial model:
alternative: the tree diagram
• Remember doing the tree
diagram in Ch 16?
• We could do one for
binomial distributions as
well
• Problem: the branches
increase exponentially
• At the right is a diagram of a
tree with just 5 levels: 32
different outcomes!
• That’s a lot of
multiplication: 5 × 32
multiplication problems!
57
The binomial model:
Example using (x+y)2
• Let’s approach the binomial problem by looking
at what happens when we multiply out a
binomial
• Lets start with expanding (x+y)2
• (x+y)2 = (x+y)(x+y)=(by the distributive property)
x(x+y)+y(x+y)=x2+xy+xy+y2=x2+2xy+y2
• The important thing to notice is that we actually
have FOUR (4) terms when we expand a binomial
58
The binomial model:
Tracking the members of a binomial
• It’s easier to see what we’re doing if we label
each factor as unique
• So, instead of (x+y)(x+y), let’s write the
multiplication problem as (x1+y1)(x2+y2)
• Expanding as before, we get:
x1 (x2+y2) +y1 (x2+y2)=x1 x2+x2y2++y1x2+y1y2
• Let’s now set x=x1=x2, y=y1=y2 and substitute:
xx+xy+xy+yy=x2+2xy+y2
59
The binomial model:
So what?
• Good question, and an important question. Hang
in there for a bit.
• How many terms did we get when we expanded
the binomial?
– 4, of which 2 (the xy-terms) were alike, so we
combined them.
– How do the number of unique terms relate to the
exponent? (n+1, where n=exponent)
• Now let’s do a cube to see if we can discover a
pattern. (Math is more about patterns than
numbers, in case you haven’t noticed!)
60
The binomial model:
The trinomial case
• Same as with (x+y)2, except now it’s (x+y)3
• We’re also going to use x1, y1, x2, y2, x3 and y3
to track individual terms
• So (x+y)3 becomes (x+y)(x+y)(x+y), which we’ll
write as (x1+y1)(x2 +y2)(x3+y3)
• We can do this simply by setting x= x1=x2 =x3
and y=y1= y2 =y3
61
The binomial model:
Expanding the trinomial
• We have (x1+y1)(x2 +y2)(x3+y3)
• Expanding out the first two terms, we get
(x1x2+x2y2++y1x2+y1y2)(x3+y3)=
x3x1x2+x3x2y2+x3y1x2+x3y1y2+y3x1x2+y3x2y2+y3y1x2+y3y1y2
• 8 (23) terms; here’s how you simplify by substituting x and y back in to
each term:
x3x1x2+x3x2y2+x3y1x2+x3y1y2+y3x1x2+y3x2y2+y3y1x2+y3y1y2
(1)
xxx + xxy + xyx + xyy + yxx + yxy + yyx + yyy
(circles=like terms) (2)
xxx + xxy + xxy + xxy + xyy + xyy + xyy + yyy
(3)
x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3
