The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain.

Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.

the null hypothesis. There
sufficient evidence to support the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain
than those given a sham treatment.
Is it valid to argue that magnets might appear to be effective if the sample sizes are larger?
for those treated with magnets is
the sample mean for those given a sham treatment, it
valid to argue
Since the
that magnets might appear to be effective if the sample sizes are larger.
b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that those treated with magnets have a greater mean reduction in pain than those given a sham
treatment.
