You would use combination when order does not matter.
A permutation is the correct answer
The grouping of a subset of a set of items where the order does not matter is called a combination. One such example is the UK's National Lotto where 6 numbers have to be chosen from the 59 numbers 1-59).If there are n different items and a subset of r of them are chosen where the order of choosing does not matter then the number of combinations is given by:nCr = n!/((n-r)!r!)where n! means "n factorial" - the product of all numbers 1 × 2 × ... × n; 0! is defined to be 1.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where the order of selection does matter, it is called a permutation. One such example would be the order of the first three runners in a race.If there are n different items and a subset of r of them are chosen where the order of choosing does matter, then the number of permutations is given by:nPr = n!/(n-r)!
No reason why not.
Permutation: 8C5 = 56
A permutation is an arrangement of objects in some specific order. Permutations are regarded as ordered elements. A selection in which order is not important is called a combination. Combinations are regarded as sets. For example, if there is a group of 3 different colored balls, then any group of 2 balls selected from it will be considered as a combination, whereas the different arrangements of every combination will be considered as a permutation.
A combination. If the order does matter, the word is permutation.
Permutation is when order matters, combination is when order does not matter
You would use combination when order does not matter.
Because a permutation includes all the different arrangements or order of the items in a set. In a combination the order doesn't matter or count.
Permutation is when order matters
In permutations the order of the elements does matter. In combinations it does not.So, the permutations 1,2,3 and 3,1,2 are not the same. But they are the same combination.
Only 1, since the order of the digits does not matter in a compbination. In a permutation, yes, but not combination.
A permutation is the correct answer
the permutation is an specific ordered combination. the combination is not need specific order combination...
An instance which is different from the instance before. Windows 7 and Windows Vista are different permutations of the same product.
9 C 5 = 126 If the order doesn't matter, it is a combination. If the order does matter, it is a permutation. TI-84 .
