| In this video, we dive in to an FE Exam Practice Problem in the subject of PROBABILITY & STATISTICS, specifically revolving around COMBINATIONS. What is a COMBINATION?
A COMBINATION is a selection of objects where the order doesn't matter.
For example, say we have three balls: one red, one white, and one blue.
If we wanted to see how many different variations of these balls we get after choosing 2 at a time, we find that we get:
red - white
red - blue
white - blue
white - red
blue - red
blue - white
But since order doesn't matter, red - white and white - red are the same...so that's a single combination. This goes for the others as well. So in reality, instead of 6, there are 3 COMBINATIONS.
From a textbook sense, we would first find the number of PERMUTATIONS (which is 6 for the above scenario) and divide it by the number of ways we can rearrange the PERMUTATIONS...meaning, pair them up as white - blue : blue-white, etc.
Check out the video and see how we can go about solving this type of problem in the most efficient manner.

Are you currently moving along as you would want in your FE Exam Review?
Maybe you don't even know where to start and are looking for FE Exam Study Schedule?
Or maybe you are just trying to put definition around the question:
"What is the FE Exam?"
On this front, let's put that question to rest.
The FE Exam (which is formally referred to as the Fundamentals of Engineering exam) is the first of two exams you will be taking as an engineer to obtain your Professional Engineer License (PE).
You may also hear this exam referred to as the Engineer in Training exam (EIT Exam), in which, once you pass, you will obtain your EIT Certification...or in some states, become an Engineering Intern (EI)...same thing.
As far as eligibility is concerned, to sit for the exam, generally speaking, anyone with a degree in engineering or a related field, or currently enrolled in their final year of an ABET accredited engineering curriculum, is eligible to take the FE Exam.
Each state does have their specific requirements so you must refer to your local engineering boards for the specifics, especially if you fall outside the general requirements stated above.
Nonetheless, preparing for the FE exam starts with one step and continues with one step, each and every day...making incremental progress...it's a marathon, not a sprint.
You can do this, keep showing up, day after day...and you win.
This is the goal of the PREPINEER DAILYDOSE series, providing you an incremental stepping stone to get back in to grind mode, putting in work and building unstoppable momentum in route to a successful FE Exam result.
