Time for blogging on blogging again. Combinatory!!!!!!
When Mr. K introduced to us what is combinatory I found it difficult. But as days gone by and Mr. K teach us how to solve permutations ad combinations I understand how to solve some problems. When Mr. K introduced about the Poker Permutation I found it difficult. But when Mr. K explained little by little I understand how to solved Poker Permutation. And of course it helps a lot the Pre-test this early morning.
Well I guess that’s it for combinatory!
GOODLUCK to our exam tomorrow.

Combinatorics: POKER!
Hello there fellow classmates,
Today I am the scribe and here is my scribe. haha.
Voila and there you have it. I'm sorry if it's too small to read, try to view it full screen maybe it'll be better.

Scribe Post:: Poker Possibilities
First off: Apologiez for not getting this up. I had the time over the weekend, just completely forgot I was the scribe for Friday.
Anyway... Mr. K started us off with some warm-up questions to get us prepared for the Poker Possibilities. The first question is:
There are 10 football teams in a certain conference. How many games must be played if each team is to play every other team just once?
Sergio did it the way I did it; we figured that the first team has 9 other teams to play, the second team has 8, the third has 7, etc. So we added 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 which gave us 45.
However, I liked the Choose Formula method better which is probably what Mr. K wanted us to use.
The second warm-up question was: There are 9 chairs in a row. In how many ways can 4 students be seated in consecutive chairs?
&that's all for Friday's class, the rest was for homework. Once again, my apologiez for my bad memory.
Next Scribe was already determined to be Sam. &sorry for making you do Monday's. =)
btw.. how come when I tried to install the Smart Board, it said there was an error? Anyone?

The third question was: Seven people reach a fork in the road. In how many ways can they continue their walk so that 4 go one way and 3 the other?
Here there are two ways this can happen, but both have the same result. One scenario where 4 goes left, 3 goes right, and once scenario where 3 goes left and 4 goes right. They both work because "7 Choose 3" and "7 Choose 4" are equal.
Finally, the POKER POSSIBILITIES questions:
Given a standard deck of 52 cards, how many ways are there to draw 5 cards to obtain each hand.
a) Royal Flush
[ace, king, queen, jack, ten in the same suit]
b) Straight Flush
[five cards in sequence and of the same unit, but not ace king queen jack ten]
&that's all for Friday's class, the rest was for homework. Once again, my apologiez for my bad memory.
Next Scribe was already determined to be Sam. &sorry for making you do Monday's. =)
