![]() ![]() ![]() Write it in the notation of permutations, we would And then for the lastīucket, you're going to have 24 possibilities, so this is going to be 26 times 25 times 24, whatever that happens to be. Going to try to figure out because you already used one letter and they have to be different. ![]() Would have 25 possibilities for the next one that you're And so I could do 24 times 25 times 26, but just so I don't fully confuse you, I'll go back to what I have been doing. Have one left, one less for the next, the next bucket. Then for each of those possibilities we'll Let's just think in terms of let's just fill out Special about always filling in the left most letter or And the only reason I went 26, 25, 24 is to show you there's nothing Out two of the letters, there's 24 possibilitiesīecause we've already used two letters for the lastīucket that we haven't filled. And then for each of theseĢ5 times 26 possibilities for where we figured We could say that the one on the right, there's 26 possibilities, well for each of those possibilities, forĮach of those 26 possibilities, there might be 25 possibilities for what we put in the middle one if we say we're going toįigure out the middle one next. Starting with that one, but there's nothing specialĪbout the one on the left. Letters for the first one, 26 different possibilities Well, if we went in order, we could have 26 different Of things like this, it's always best to reason through than try to figure out if Letters and once again, pause the video and see if So these all have to be different letters. Possible three letter words "are there if we wantĪll different letters?" So we want all different letters. How to pronounceable they are, if they meant anythingĪnd if we repeated letters. That is how many possible three letter words we can have for the English language if we didn't care about I don't know what this is, 26 to the third power possibilities, or 26 times 26 time 26 and youĬan figure out what that is. So we have 26 possibilitiesįor the second letter and we have 26 possibilitiesįor the third letter. So, for example, the word, the word HHH would also be a legitimate word in our example right over here. There's 25 for the second one, "and then 24 for the third,"īut that's not the case right over here because There's 26 possibilities "for the first one and maybe Now how many possibilitiesįor the second one? And I intentionally ask this to you to be a distractor because ![]() It, for three letter words there's three spaces, so how many possibilities are there for the first one? Well, there's 26 possible So how many possible three letter words are there in the English language? I encourage you to pause the video and try to think about it. Or the word, the word, the word SKJ would be a legitimate So, for example, the word, the word ZGT would be a legitimate Thinking about phonetics or how hard it is to pronounce it. So given that there are 26 alphabets in the English language, how many possible three letter words are there? And we're not going to be Now let's ask some interesting questions. T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z," you'll get, you'll get 26, 26 alphabets. So if you go, "A, B, C,ĭ, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, And in case you don't remember and are in the mood to count, Note: This idea came from a set of printables that I originally put together several years ago for Zachary, based on a thrift store find from a reader.- So let's ask ourselves some interesting questions aboutĪlphabets in the English language.
