Kaidah Pencacahan 2 - Aturan Pengisian Tempat (Filling Slots) Matematika Wajib Kelas 12

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the concept of "Filling Slots," a fundamental principle in combinatorics that is crucial for understanding probability. This tutorial is based on the video "Kaidah Pencacahan 2" from the m4th-lab channel, which presents the necessary rules for filling slots in various mathematical scenarios. Mastering this concept will prepare you for more advanced topics in probability.

Step 1: Understanding the Basics of Filling Slots

Before diving into examples, it is essential to grasp the core idea behind filling slots. This concept involves determining how many ways you can fill a certain number of positions (or slots) with a specified number of items.

Key Points

• Slots: These are the positions to be filled.
• Items: These can be any objects, numbers, or symbols you will place into the slots.
• Order Matters: In many cases, the order in which items are placed in the slots is significant.

Step 2: Calculating Permutations

When the order of items is important, you will use permutations to calculate the number of possible arrangements.

Practical Steps

1. Identify the Number of Slots: Determine how many positions you need to fill.
2. Identify the Number of Items: Count how many different items you can use to fill these slots.
3. Use the Permutation Formula: The formula for permutations is: [ P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} ] Where:
   • ( n ) = total number of items
   • ( r ) = number of slots to fill
   • ( ! ) denotes factorial, meaning the product of all positive integers up to that number.

Example

If you have 5 different books and want to fill 3 slots on a shelf, the calculation would be: [ P(5, 3) = \frac{5!}{(5-3)!} = \frac{5!}{2!} = \frac{120}{2} = 60 ]

Step 3: Calculating Combinations

In situations where the order of items does not matter, you will use combinations.

Practical Steps

1. Identify Total Items and Slots: Similar to permutations, count your items and slots.
2. Use the Combination Formula: The formula for combinations is: [ C(n, r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} ] Where:
   • ( C(n, r) ) = number of combinations
   • ( r ) = number of items to choose

Example

If you have 5 books and want to choose 3, the calculation would be: [ C(5, 3) = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = \frac{5!}{3!2!} = \frac{120}{6 \times 2} = 10 ]

Step 4: Practical Applications

Understanding filling slots can be applied in various real-world scenarios such as:

• Arranging objects: Placing books on a shelf in different orders.
• Creating teams: Selecting group members from a larger pool.
• Event planning: Organizing seating arrangements.

Tips

• Always clarify whether the order is essential for your calculation.
• Practice with different scenarios to strengthen your understanding of permutations and combinations.

Conclusion

Mastering the filling slots principle is vital for progressing in probability and combinatorial mathematics. By understanding how to calculate permutations and combinations, you can tackle a wide range of problems.
