Question

) The batting order for seven players on a 12 person team is this combination or permutation ?

Answer 1

Answer: $\Large\boxed{\text {Permutation}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first understand the difference between combination and permutation.

⇒ Combination is a way of selecting items from a collection where the order of selection does not matter

⇒  Permutation is an arrangement of objects in a definite order.

In other words:

⇒ Combination is when the order does not matter

⇒ Permutation is when the order matters

Now, let's look at the given information in the question

⇒ Need 7 players from a 12-person team

⇒ The purpose is to determine battle order

As it is stated in the question:

⇒ It needs the battling order of 7 people

Since the order matters, thus, it should be $\Large\boxed{\text {Permutation}}$

Hope this helps!! :)
