- [Instructor] When you analyze business data,
2
00:00:02,003 --> 00:00:05,006
you will often need to select a subset
3
00:00:05,006 --> 00:00:08,009
of a larger collection of items.
4
00:00:08,009 --> 00:00:09,009
When the order matters,
5
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:13,004
you are dealing with what are called permutation.
6
00:00:13,004 --> 00:00:15,001
As an example, let's assume
7
00:00:15,001 --> 00:00:17,000
that you have eight individuals
8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,008
who have offered to speak at a company event,
9
00:00:19,008 --> 00:00:22,007
but you can only choose three.
10
00:00:22,007 --> 00:00:25,008
If the order those individual speak in matters,
11
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:28,007
then you're dealing with a permutation.
12
00:00:28,007 --> 00:00:32,001
And again, the order of these speakers matters.
13
00:00:32,001 --> 00:00:34,008
So instead of having 1, 2, 3,
14
00:00:34,008 --> 00:00:40,002
if you have the speakers set up as 2, 3, 1,
15
00:00:40,002 --> 00:00:43,005
then you are dealing with a different permutation.
16
00:00:43,005 --> 00:00:46,004
And once again, order matters.
17
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,005
One question you can ask
18
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:50,003
about permutations without duplication
19
00:00:50,003 --> 00:00:52,008
is how many unique orders are possible
20
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:57,003
when choosing three out of eight people with no repeats?
21
00:00:57,003 --> 00:00:58,008
I'll switch over to Excel
22
00:00:58,008 --> 00:01:01,000
and show you how to set up this type of problem
23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,002
in your workbook.
24
00:01:03,002 --> 00:01:04,008
I've switched over to Excel,
25
00:01:04,008 --> 00:01:08,001
and I have opened the sample file for this movie,
26
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:12,001
that is, 06_04 Permutations Without Duplication,
27
00:01:12,001 --> 00:01:14,001
and you can find that in the Chapter06 folder
28
00:01:14,001 --> 00:01:16,009
of the Exercise Files collection.
29
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:20,001
You can see, this is a fairly straightforward worksheet.
30
00:01:20,001 --> 00:01:25,004
And in cells B3 and B4, I have the values that I need.
31
00:01:25,004 --> 00:01:28,004
So in B3, I have the number of available speakers,
32
00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:33,009
and in cell B4, I have the number of open speaking slots.
33
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:36,004
If I want to count the number of unique orders
34
00:01:36,004 --> 00:01:39,001
without duplication, that is my permutation,
35
00:01:39,001 --> 00:01:43,005
I can go to sell B6, type an equal sign,
36
00:01:43,005 --> 00:01:46,008
and the function
37
00:01:46,008 --> 00:01:49,005
is P-E-R-M-U-T,
38
00:01:49,005 --> 00:01:52,000
which is short for permutation.
39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,004
So I'll press Tab.
40
00:01:53,004 --> 00:01:57,006
And the number of available speakers is in cell B3,
41
00:01:57,006 --> 00:02:00,003
so I'll type that cell reference, then a comma.
42
00:02:00,003 --> 00:02:03,008
And the number chosen, the number of open speaking slots,
43
00:02:03,008 --> 00:02:05,007
is in B4.
44
00:02:05,007 --> 00:02:08,001
Type a right parentheses and Enter.
45
00:02:08,001 --> 00:02:11,002
And I see that there are actually quite a few orders
46
00:02:11,002 --> 00:02:14,001
that are possible, 336.
47
00:02:14,001 --> 00:02:17,001
If I were to increase the number of available speakers,
48
00:02:17,001 --> 00:02:20,001
then that number would increase even more.
49
00:02:20,001 --> 00:02:23,001
So in cell B3, let's say that I go up to 10,
50
00:02:23,001 --> 00:02:25,004
which is only an increase of two.
51
00:02:25,004 --> 00:02:30,000
We go from 336 to 720.
52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,003
So that is quite an increase.
53
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,000
If I change the value in B4,
54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,009
the number of speaking slots to 5,
55
00:02:36,009 --> 00:02:41,006
we go from 720 up to over 30,000.
56
00:02:41,006 --> 00:02:44,008
So as you can see, even at fairly small numbers,
57
00:02:44,008 --> 00:02:49,000
such as 10 available speakers in 5 open speaking slots,
58
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,007
the number of permutations without duplication
59
00:02:51,007 --> 00:02:54,000
gets very large, very fast.
