    INTRODUCTION OF COMBINATIONS

    So far our task was always to “arrange” objects i.e. to place them in a specific order among themselves.

    Sometimes we would be interested in only “selecting” a few objects out of the given objects. In this case, we just need to “select” and we do not need to “arrange” them in an order. 

    The notation of selecting r objects from n given object is ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}$.

    ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!\cdot r!}$

    Multiplication Rule

    If a certain work W can be completed by doing 2 tasks, first doing task A AND then doing task B.  A can be done in m ways and following that B can be done in n ways, then the number of ways of doing the work W is (m x n) ways. 

    Addition Rule

    If work W can be completed by doing task A OR task B, and A can be done in m ways and B can be done in n ways (and both cannot occur simultaneously: in this case we call tasks A and B as mutually exclusive), then work W can be done in (m + n) ways.
