Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don

Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

$nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

The formula can now be applied as follows;

$\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}$

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.
