How many 5-digit numbers can be formed from digits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 if not repeated?
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 .
How many 3 number combinations are possible with numbers 1234?
4 of them. In a combination the order of the numbers does not matter.
How many combinations can you make with 7 letters that are arranged in alphabetical order with repetition from English alphabet?
The question contradicts itself. The order of the letters is irrelevant in a combination [though it does matter in a permutation]. So what is it that you are asking for? Combinations or order-dependent arrangements?

What arrangement places events in the order in which they occur?
Placing events in the order of their occurrence is "chronological order".
What is meant by Chronological Order?
Chronological order means the order, in terms of time, in which a series of events occurred. For example, if I were to write the events of my day in chronological order, they would be written in the order they happened, starting from when I woke up this morning, and ending when I go to sleep at night.From the beginning to the end.
Which of these items is a useful tool for studying the order in which events occurred in history?
timeline
What is a grouping of objects or events in which order does not matter?
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)!
How many different combinations of 4 are possible from 6 items?
If order doesn't matter, 15 combinations and if order does matter, 360 combinations are possible.
What is an arrangement of items in which the order of the items is not considered?
Multiplication (3 x 5 = 15, and 5 x 3 = 15), or Addition (5 + 3 = 8, 3 + 5 = 8).
How does chronological order arrange events?
Chronological order arranges events in the order in which they occurred.
Can items in a series circuit be in any order?

If the phases of matter are arranged in order of increasing density then what would the arrangement be?

How do you create a horror film plot?
Plot is "the arrangement of the incidents (events, scenes)," according to Aristotle. You figure out what you want to have happen in your story, and put them in the order that you think will be most effective.
What is the significance of chronology and eras?
Eras and chronology are significant because they let us know when important things happened and in what order they happened. Chronology is the arrangement of events and facts in the order they occurred. An era is a period of time that is characterized by circumstances.
What is the difference between permutation and combinations?
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.
