Expert Solution
Concepts

Combination:

Combination is nothing but the number of ways to choose r distinct objects from n(>r) distinct objects such that the sequence in which a selection is made does not matter. It is given by the formula nr=n!(n-r)!r!.

Probability:

For any event A, the classical definition of probability defines the probability of its occurrence, denoted by P(A), as the ratio n(A)N, where N denotes the number of elementary events in the sample space and n(A) denotes the number of elementary events favorable to event A.
