Explanation Given information: The statement is given as, “The number of permutations of a set of n elements equals ____.” Consider a set with n number of different elements. The all possible permutations without any replacements in a row can be calculated as follows. In a certain permutation there are n spaces to assign these elements. Consider the first elements. There are n number of possible ways to fill the first space. After the first space is filled, there are only ( n − 1 ) elements. Then there are ( n − 1 ) ways to fill the second space. Now. The total number of possibilities is n ( n − 1 )

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…

Counting Theory

The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.
