   Combinations - Order Does Not Matter • The Classical Studies Department has 7 faculty members. Three must attend the graduation ceremonies. How many different groups of 3 can be chosen? • If order mattered, the answer would be 7·6·5 = 210 • Let’s look at one set of three professors: A, B, C: A B C A C B B C A B A CCA B C B A

   The COMBINATION FORMULA The number of combinations of n things taken r at a time:! C(n,r)= n! (n"r)!r! We use this formula when we are choosing a subset of r elements from a set of n elements, and the order in which elements are chosen or listed is not significant. EXAMPLE How many 5-element subsets are in the set S = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}?

   In this post, I’ll show you how to calculate the number of combinations with and without repetition and teach you the standard notation for combinations. I’ll also work through example problems so you can see the process in action. You’ll learn how to calculate the probability of winning the jackpot in the Powerball lottery!

   What is the difference between combinations and permutations in probability theory?

   • In probability theory, combinations and permutations are distinct concepts. Combinations: The order of outcomes does not matter. Permutations: The order of outcomes does matter. Let’s use three letters to illustrate both concepts: C, J, M. Suppose we’re using these letters to signify people on a team, such as Carl, Jack, and Mary.

   How do you calculate number of combinations with repetitions?

   • To calculate the number of combinations with repetitions, use the following equation. Where: n = the number of options. r = the size of each combination. The exclamation mark (!) represents a factorial. In general, n! equals the product of all numbers up to n. For example, 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6. The exception is 0! = 1, which simplifies equations.

   What is a combination in probability theory?

   • Combinations in probability theory and other areas of mathematics refer to a sequence of outcomes where the order does not matter. For example, when you’re ordering a pizza, it doesn’t matter whether you order it with ham, mushrooms, and olives or olives, mushrooms, and ham. You’re getting the same pizza!

   What is an example of probability using combinations without repetition?

   • The classic example of probability using combinations without repetition is a lottery where machines randomly choose balls with numbers from a pool of balls. The order of the numbers does not matter. You just need to match the numbers. Because each ball can be drawn only once, it is without repetition.

   Example 1. A 6 letter password can be made using each of the letters P, Q, R, X, Y and Z once. How many arrangements are there? Solution. The first letter can be chosen in 6 ways. Once we have chosen this letter we cannot use it again, So the second letter can be chosen in 5 ways. The third letter can be chosen in 4 ways.
