compute the following 325C1
@wolf1728
How many different four-digit numbers can be made using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 if no digit can be used more than once?
I think the answer to the combination question is 6*5*4*3*2*1 which I think is 720
MY MISTAKE 6*5*4*3
COMPUTE THE FOLLOWING; 8c8
and c means combination?
YES
CN U HELP ?
@jim_thompson5910
Looking at wikipedia to find exactly how to do that :-)
ty
In general n C n = 1 where n is any integer
*any positive integer
this is because there is only one way to have a group of n people (drawn from a total pool of n people) and order doesn't matter
so what this means is that you replace n with 8 to get 8 C 8 = 1
10c4 * 4c2 = ? @jim_thompson5910
or basically it is asking how many k items can be chosen from a group of n
10c4 means how many ways can k things (4) be selected from n things (10). combinations = n! / (n-k)! * k! 10c4 = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 / 6*5*4*3*2*1 * (4*3*2*1) = 10*9*8*7 / 4*3*2*1 = 10*3*7 =210 4c2 = 4! / 2! * 2! 4c2 = 3*2*1 = 6 so, 10c4 * 4c2 = 210*6 = 1,260
TY so much
