Let us look at an example with less possibilities.
Example #2: Amy, Betty, Carla, Danielle, Erin, and Francis all

a) Suppose there were two positions (cheer leader and co–leader)
that the girls were trying out for. How many different ways can
the positions be filled? This is a permutation!

Since order does not matter, this is not a ____________.
(b), we care about who is selected but we do not care about the
order of the selection or any arrangement of the groups.
Selections of committees, or of subsets of items from a larger set
without regard to the order of the group selected, are called
combinations

Five cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards.
a) Use permutation notation to calculate the number of choices
for the 1st card, 2nd card, and so forth up to the fifth card.
b) How many ways can you arrange the five cards selected?
Write your answer both as a number and using a factorial.
c) Since order generally does not matter when playing cards, we
need to divide out the number of repetitions of the same set of
five cards. Calculate the number of five card hands that can be
selected from a deck of 52 cards.
