What you will learn! How to find the number of combinations of a set of objects.
What you really need to know! An arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is not important is called a combination.
What you really need to know! You can find the number of combinations of objects by dividing the number of permutations of the entire set by the number of ways each smaller set can be arranged.
Example 1: Ada can select from seven paint colors for her room. She wants to choose two colors. How many different pairs of colors can she choose?
Example 1: Method 2 21 pairs of colors! There are 7 choices for the first color and 6 choices for the second color. There are 2 ways to arrange two colors.
Example 2: Combination! Tell whether the situation represents a permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. From an eight-member track team, three members will be selected to represent the team at the state meet. How many ways can these three members be selected.
There are 8 members for the first position, 7 for the second and 6 for the third. 3 people can be arranged in 6 ways.
Example 3: Permutation! Tell whether the situation represents a permutation or combination. Then solve the problem. In how many ways can you choose the first, second, and third runners in a relay race from the eight members of the track team?
There are 8 members for the first position, 7 for the second and 6 for the third.
