PERMUTATIONS AND COMBINATIONS

In this unit, you will first examine some probability topics such as the “Fundamental Counting Principal”, permutations, and combinations. Permutations and combinations are different ways to make arrangements out of objects. A permutation is an arrangement of objects in which the order of the arrangement is important to the outcome.  A combination is an arrangement of objects where order is not important.
