<h3>What is meant by permutation and combination?</h3>

Combination and permutation are two alternative strategies in mathematics to divide up a collection of components into subsets. The subset's components can be listed in any order when combined. The components of the subset are listed in a permutation in a certain order.

A. We want to select 5 objects from a total 13, without considering the order in which they are chosen.

The correct way to do this exists by utilizing the combination formula since order exists not considered;

Therefore, we have ; 13 C 5 read as 13 combination 5;

Let the equation of combination be n C r = n!/(n-r)!r!

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

13!/(13-8)!8! = 13!/5!8! = 1,287 ways

B. By considering order, we shall be using the permutation formula;

Let the equation of permutation be n P r = n!/(n-r)!

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

13 P 5 = 13!/(13-5)!

= 13!/(13-5)! = 13!/8! = 154,440 ways
