Question
What is the main difference between a situation in which the use of the permutations rule is appropriate and one in which the use of the combinations rule is appropriate?
Permutations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items, while combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items.Both permutations and combinations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items. Both permutations and combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items.Combinations count the number of different arrangements of r out of n items, while permutations count the number of groups of r out of n items.

- In an experiment, there are 5 possible conditions, and you would like each participant to receive 3 out of the 5. However, you are concerned about the possible effects of the order in which the conditions are experienced, so you want to use all possible permutations of the 3 conditions tested. Calculate the number of permutations.arrow_forwardFor each of the following situations, explain why the combinations rule or the permutations rule should be used. (a) Determine the number of different groups of 5 items that can be selected from 12 distinct items. Use the permutations rule, since only the items in the group is of concern.Use the combinations rule, since only the items in the group is of concern.
