The topics covered are: counting the number of possible orders. counting using the multiplication rule.
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}?

Combinations. A combination is a selection of objects in which order is not important. For instance, in a drawing for 3 identical prizes, you would use combinations, because the order of the winners would not matter. If the prizes were different, then you would use permutations, because the order would matter.
