Combinations and Permutations
:
When trying to determine the number of possible combinations in a set, it can be difficult to differentiate between combinations and permutations. With permutations, we calculate the number of possible rearrangements of a set of items. With combinations we count the number of combinations we can 'choose' from a larger set of items. Combinations and permutations are important statistical concepts.

Combinations and permutation
Both count the ways that (r) objects can be taken from a group of (n) objects, but permutations are arrangements (sequence matters), while combinations are selections (order does not matter). For example, how many ways can you seat people at a table? That's permutation. How many poker hands are available in five-card draw? That's a combination
