![]() Permutations differ from combinations in that permutations consider the order of the outcomes, for example, finishing positions in a race. Note: Permutations are very similar, and are represented by nPx. ![]() Specifically it represents the number of ways of getting x successes in n trials, without regard to the order of the outcomes. The nCx looks kind of forbidding, but it's really just notation representing combinations (thus the capital C in the middle). the probability of a success in any given trial (p) how many combinations of outcomes would provide x number of successes, nCx.Ģ. To calculate P(x) you need to know two things :ġ. In Section 4.2 of the Larson text, we see that the probability of a certain number of successes, x, out of n trials in a binomial experiment is given as: Probability of x successes in n trials of a binomial experiment
