Probability Calculation - nPm Notation - Simple Single

Level 1

This math topic provides practice in calculating probabilities using the permutation notation (nPm), specifically focusing on simpler single-level problems. It introduces students to the fundamental concept of permutations, where they must determine the number of ways to arrange a subset of items from a larger set. Questions involve calculating the value of specific permutation expressions such as '4P4', '4P3', '6P2', '6P3', '3P3', '5P2', and '5P5'. Each problem offers multiple choice answers, helping students apply the principles of permutations to find exact values.
