The number of permutations of 5 things taken 2 at a time is 20?
Not quite. Number of combinations is 20, number of permutations is 10. Any 2 from 5 is 10 but in any order doubles this.
How many three digit numbers can you write using the digits 1 2 3 4 5 without repeating?
The first digit can be any one of 5 choices. For each of those, the second digit can be any one of 4 choices. For each of those, the third digit can be any one of 3 choices. So the total number of permutations without repetition is 5 x 4 x 3 = 60.
When two dice are rolled what is the probability that both will not be the same number?
The are 36 permutations of two dice. Of these, 6 permutations have the two dice with the same number, specifically 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, and 6+6. The probability, then, that two dice rolled will not have the same number is 30 in 36, or 5 in 6, or about 0.8333.
Suppose you find six articles related to the topic of your research paper In how many ways can you choose four articles to read?
6*5*4*3 = 360 ways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutations
How many codes can I make out of 01234?
If you are looking to create codes using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 without repetition, you would be creating permutations. The number of permutations of n items taken r at a time is given by the formula P(n,r) = n! / (n-r)!. In this case, you have 5 digits to choose from (n=5) and you want to create a code with all 5 digits (r=5). Therefore, the number of codes you can make is 5! / (5-5)! = 5! / 0! = 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
How many different 3 letter permutations can be formed from the letters in the word count?
There are 5*4*3 = 60 permutations.
How many permutations of 5 letter can be made without any letters being repeated?
There are 7893600 permutations.
How many permutations from 1-5?
6
How many different permutations are there of 3 4 5 6 7?
120
How many permutations of 5 voters can be made?
5*4*3*2*1 = 120
How many ways can 9 books be arranged on a shelf so that 5 of the books are always together?
You can simplify the problem by considering it as two different problems. The first involves consider the five-book chunk as a single book, and calculating the permutations there. The second involves the permutations of the books within the five-book block. Multiplying these together gives you the total permutations. Permutations of five objects is 5!, five gives 5!, so the total permutations are: 5!5! = 5*5*4*4*3*3*2*2 = 263252 = 14,400 permutations
How many permutations of 5 numbers can be made from the numbers 1 to 90?
There are 5,273,912,160 permutations of 5 numbers out of 90.

There are 120 permutations and 5 combinations.

6! Six factorial. 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 720 =====
How many permutations of 5 computers are possible?
120.
The number of permutations of 5 things taken 2 at a time is 20?
Not quite. Number of combinations is 20, number of permutations is 10. Any 2 from 5 is 10 but in any order doubles this.
How many 4 digit permutations and combination can be made from 46913?
Given the individual digits: 4, 6, 9, 1, and 3,the number of 4-digit permutations is (5! / 1!) = (5 x 4 x 3 x 2) = 120 .The number of combinations is [ 5! / (1!4!) ] = 5 .
