Question

How can you tell whether a counting problem is a permutation or a combination problem? Give examples to support your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The first step in this problem is recognizing whether we are dealing with combinations or permutations. The final step is once we've figured out the combinations above, we have to use the fundamental counting principle and multiply the total number of possibilities in a committee, not add them: 3 x 6 = 18, answer (C).
