A Combination is an arrangement of some of the • items are chosen. The order does NOT matter. • It should really be called • a permutation lock! • Eg. 4 Choose 3 students from a set of 5 to go to the office • 5 • 4 • 3 • = • 10 • 3! • Because order does not matter • Eg. 5 Choose 5 movies from 20 on the shelf • = • 16 • 20 • 19 • 18 • 17 • 15 504 • 5!
