Number of Arrangements of 0s and 1s

How do you find how many arrangements of 0s and 1s there are, given the number of digits?

for example, if there are to be 3 digits, there are 8 arrangements:
000
001
010
100
101
011
110
111

Ah crap - I’m doing this in school again- its all that probability shizzle… :frowning:

ok well I wasn’t specific enough…

my point was that it’s not simply the calculator P or C function like templarian mentioned.

I’m refering to this post:

And, I never said that permutations had to involve using factorials. Study english harder!
[whisper]I’m sorry if that’s too insulting, I usually refrain from shooting others down unless they blatantly and unjustly do so to me first.[/whisper]

Errrm… Not insulted in anyway… Don’t worry…

Plus, read your own post… You’ll know what I’m talking about.

Plus if you are having a problem figuring out a solution to such a basic question, you will have a whole lotta problems when the whole stochastic process and probability distributions systems kick in :wink:

Just a reminder. Everywhere you go after this, probability is going to literally haunt you if you move ahead in a science field. Probability is quite interesting… Only thing, you’ll have to put your brains into it!

Although, I agree, mathematically solving probability questions is a major drag. Probability theory is much much better!

Loving it at college :wink:

[ot]Some people are too afraid of going for a roller-coaster ride. Do you know? The probability of someone dying in some sorta freak-roller-coaster-accident is far less than someone dying while playing billiards, getting hit by a ball?

Exhibits an ironic nature doesn’t it :stuck_out_tongue:
