So An investor would like to invest $60,000 in 2 stocks from a list of 6 suggested by a broker. How many investments of $30,000 each are possible? Am I combining or doing a permutation?

Question

mathstudent55 · Answer

There is no order here. If the stocks are A, B, C, D, E, and F, choosing
A and B is the same as choosing B and A.
Permutation: order matters
Combination: order doesn't matter
