When Two Lists Mean One Thing

One mathematical outcome may have several descriptions or orderings; when every true outcome is represented the same number of times, divide by that multiplicity.

What you'll learn

  • Decide whether two ordered descriptions represent different outcomes or the same outcome.
  • Group duplicate descriptions and identify how many represent each true outcome.
  • Divide an overcount only after checking that the multiplicity is uniform.
