My statistics professor is someone who explains things for people who already know about the topic. There are variables everywhere which are not explained. Thank you for making this video, it showed me how simple this actually is and how fun the topic can be.
Whhhhhyyyy doesn't my genetics professor teach it this way??? the formula is so confusing, but the way you explained it I understood it and it's so easy!
This is currently the clearest video I've found on permutations. It actually explains the concept behind the equation, which will stay in my understanding far beyond the memory of the equation. Thanks!
Thank you very much, when I learned that at school back then they went over it too fast and I could not get the reasoning behind the formulas. I see clearly now, well presented :-)
I am very grateful for the explanation and logical reasoning. The basic concept is what i really needed and that it something i didn't have while doing additional math for IGCSE. I'm happy nonetheless I have understood in A level statistics. Thank you.
"And I want to know, how many different ways can I put these 3 balls into these 2 cups?" Call me immature, but I started chuckling. Aside from that, this was very informative.
you are the best! i been using your videos since I was in remedial at college, know I'm in my last year of the university. doing qmb. you should be a professor! thanks
i'm with you 100%, bc it irritates me how NO ONE, not even textbooks explain how you just up and multiply. The reason you multiply is just think of what multiplication represents: groups. 7x6 means 7 groups of 6 (or 6 groups of 7). That gives you 42, either way. 3 groups of 2 (or 2 groups of 3) give you 6. Well, if you have say, 4 balls (A, B, C, D) and 3 cups, for your FIRST choice of A, there's 6 ways -6 groups of choices- to fill the 3 cups IF you're starting your choice with A....
Hi I was very weak in maths I wish internet was super cheap in my academic years I would have got better marks and understanding about maths concepts.Thanks Khan Academy
Oh my god thank you so much our teacher has literally taught us nothing about this and has told us to research it for our assignment this helped so much
Thanx khan academy for making the impossible possible coz i am just studying in9th standard and i need to write an olympiad based on 16 chapters which includes combinations and permutations. And now may be i will achieve a good rank in it.
Its a drawing pad. You'll also need screen recording software, video editing software, and voice recording software. And a mike. I'm not sure if that software should come with either the mike or the pad.
There are 7 ways of selecting the first person to sit, and FOR EACH way out of the 7 ways, there are 6 ways of selecting the second person. Thus far there 7 * 6 ( = 42) ways of selecting the first two persons and sitting them. Again FOR EACH of the 42 possible ways of selecting the first two persons, there are 5 choices for the third sitter. Eventually we have 42 * 5 ways of selecting 3 out of 7 persons to sit.
@jarrasoma Well, given i.e. 5 cups and 3 balls - and you put one ball in one cup - you'd have this; Cup 1: Ball A Cup 2: Ball B Cup 3: Ball C Cup 4: No ball Cup 5: No ball Now, there's a problem with our ascertion. Can you see it? The question now is better answered as a relation; In how many ways can you place a cup and a ball together? That way, the places would be the "k", and the other relation would represent the "n".
I got intuitive blast after watching this it made so much sense looking at the angle from that you want the first k terms of the n! Then its almost common sense that you want to cancel out the left terms so you are doing (n-k)! To cancel them (n-k) is number left from n after occupying n spots
Reason for multiplying eg you want to go from A --B--C,with three possible routes to B and from B 4 ways to C.for every route to b there are 4 ways to C.total =3*4=12 ways for A to C
I look at this in a much simpler way as below " 3 chairs and 7 people" First spot could be fitted in 7 different way or people in this case. For this 7 different ways of first position there will be 6 different way remaining 6 people can occupy hence 7*6 ways two chair get filled, now again third chair has 5 left over people from each outcome (7*6 total outcomes ). So these 5 will occupy in 5 different way with total outcome of first two chair i.e (7*6)*5. If one more chair is there again we have 4 different ways remaing 4 can be associated with this all possible outcome. By THE WAY mathes is too difficult to explain or visualise through words. Happy learning.
So in Braille there are 6 spaces... how many unique characters are there then? Because space 1 and space 2 being filled is the same as space 2 and space 1. Would it just be binary then? 2^6?
So if u have 7 traits, and 2 alleles/ possibilities for each trait. to calculate the possible combinations for 7 traits you would have 14 different traits/people. So your trying to seat 14 different people in 7 chairs/traits so? 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8?
hey sal, i'm not understanding this question (it's from iit exam)........ A train timetable must be compiled for various days of the week so that two trains twice a day depart for three days, one train daily for two days, and three trains once a day for two days. How many different timetables can be compiled?......plz answer or better make a video....
+张弼 because you start with 7 people in the 1st chair. after that person sits on the first chair now you only have 6 people or choices left. thats why there are 6 people for the 2nd chair. and for the third chair you have 5 people left. Since there are only 3 chairs we stop here. thus-- 7 times 6 times 5 = 210 possibilities
+DryBlue Berries That's a great question. The key points is "each" "each". As you heard that "for each of these possibilities" ,you probably can imagine that each of the 7 possibilities has another 6 new choices or possibilities. It is like that there are 7 boxes and each box "has" 6 apples, so how many apples are there ? 7 times 6, right?
+张弼 Hey, it seems like ur online right now. Try answering this question: A volley ball team is made up of 6 player in a line facing the camera for a picture. If Joan and Emily must be together, how many different arrangements are possible for the picture?

I use these videos for my exams at university, just love this. It's no drama if I skip a class, this is taught even better
This is so EASY. I have an exam tomorrow and I'm relying on this video for 5 marks! Extremely helpful!!

Teach badly
you explained it better than the lecturer at school. thanks for this video :)
For others viewing the video:
at 8:00 please note that the factorial symbol should be outside the parenthesis:
n!/(n-k)!
Thank you very much, when I learned that at school back then they went over it too fast and I could not get the reasoning behind the formulas. I see clearly now, well presented :-)
Thank you khan for always bringing me one step closer to smartness.
THANKS! These are great tutorials, I'm currently doing online schooling and my cousin just recommended you.
I would like to see Sal teach electrical engineering.

Good explanation. I've always found this sort of thing confusing but this video was very clear. Great intuition gained.
3 balls, 2 cups
You are the reason I survived 6th grade. thanks for making these videos.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I have a probability test next peroid, and didn't get it until I watched this!!!!!
In India permutations is taught in class 11 & 12 but due to this awesome guy I understood the topic even after being in class 9 . Thanks Sal
are you in state board ?
It is a video from many years before bir it's still very helpul. Thank you so much!
Khan Academy rules...
Thank you so much. I've spent an entire day trying to understand this from the textbook with no success.
I learn more from this than my geometry teacher
I usually don't understand his vids, but he taught this so easily... even I could grasp the concept this time 😅
You're a life saver!!❤❤❤
Wow this style of teaching is soo good
i am in college and i am learning this all on my own thanks to this guy
2018!? Time flies fast. 2008 passed 10 years back!
Now August 2022 😌🥳
Now end of November 2023. 😌🙏
7:58 I feel bad for people watching this on mobile and not being able to see the annotation correction and get really confused

Sal wrote n!/(n-k!)
It's supposed to be n!/(n-k)!

Great work sir. Thanks for making me understand this thing so easily.
old but gold
you are the best! i been using your videos since I was in remedial at college, know I'm in my last year of the university. doing qmb. you should be a professor! thanks
You explained everything very cleary using easy practical examples. Keep up the good work!
@moka22051 A factorial is when you multiply that number by all the positive integers below it. For example, 7! is 7*6*5*4*3*2*1.

great explanation ... a good analogy might be scrabble tiles on the rack played on the board squares...
Wig snatched. Thanks Sal, I needed this refresher (found an application for it in my research so many years later lol).
THANK YOU REALLY MUCH, I have tomorow big math exam, it helped me a lot
So , how was the exam?
Thank You, actually i had a Pre-Algebra book and i couldnt understand it, but with the video i could
Been sitting in a chair for 2 hours, but I've never understood it. Now, 10 minutes and I have understood at least a tinsy bit.

Quality is a concern over here when you watch online. But if you download the same & watch it with VLC player, clarity is superb...:)

Great video!! keep it up... better than my math teacher
Thank You your videos are awesome for online school.
At 7:55 , it is n!÷(n-k)!
Гленн Борс you sir are correct. please note everyone. it is NOT n!/(n-k!)
I got intuitive blast after watching this it made so much sense looking at the angle from that you want the first k terms of the n! Then its almost common sense that you want to cancel out the left terms so you are doing (n-k)! To cancel them (n-k) is number left from n after occupying n spots
this guys lessons are awesome
Yeah dey ma be techen stu nonsence
please do combinations with repetition! it would be greatly appreciated! :D
Better than my math teacher
Wonderful Explanation !
I just found a link of his RUclips channel in my textbook...I mean I love videos so I got curious. And I don't regret I did that.
omg thank you so much i might just pass my public exam with this (":
thanks Khan your vid's help so much ☺☺☺
Thanks for the subtitles, kid.
Thankyou sir I really respecte what you for us Teens and Kids

So if u have 7 traits, and 2 alleles/ possibilities for each trait. to calculate the possible combinations for 7 traits you would have 14 different traits/people. So your trying to seat 14 different people in 7 chairs/traits so? 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8?
thank you, i understand more now.
how many 4-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 1,3,5,6,7,8 & 9 if no repetition is allowed?
help pls
7*6*5*4= 840
Marian Frac 840
how many four digit no with diff digit can be formed if unit and thousands digit must be prime?
what do you mean by w/o restriction? example?
In the first example with the 3 chairs why would we use npr? Npr is for when order manners. How does order manner here???
This helped me allot!
Did it bother anyone else at the beginning of the video where he didn't have a whole line over the 2? Maybe it's just my OCD again...
+Chill Edits lol
I didnt realize that until now. Thanks for making me annoyed

What if you have just one chair and you can only fit like 4 people? Need help on this
This was a great review. :)
Are you still alive?
why should we multiply the 7×6×5 ?Is there any intuition explanation?
+张弼 because you start with 7 people in the 1st chair. after that person sits on the first chair now you only have 6 people or choices left. thats why there are 6 people for the 2nd chair. and for the third chair you have 5 people left.
