Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem, let's carefully analyze it.
The question asks for the number of permutations of rows when selecting 3 rows out of 7 to present their reports. Since the order matters, we are dealing with permutations.
The formula for permutations is:
Where:
- is the total number of items (rows in this case, ),
- is the number of items to be selected ().
Substituting into the formula:
Simplifying step by step:
Cancel in the numerator and denominator:
Thus, there are 210 permutations of the presentation order for day 1.
Would you like further clarification on permutations or how I derived this answer? Here are five related questions for practice:
- How many permutations are there if 4 rows are selected from 8?
- What is the difference between permutations and combinations?
- How can you calculate factorials for larger numbers efficiently?
- If the order of presentations didn't matter, how would this change the calculation?
- Can you think of real-life examples where permutations are useful?
Tip: Always double-check whether the problem specifies that "order matters" or not—this determines whether to use permutations or combinations.
