7.3. PERMUTATIONS AND COMBINATIONS 317<br />

In a combination in which the order is not important and there are no assigned<br />

roles the number of possibilities is defined as:<br />

nC r =<br />

n!<br />

(n − r)! ∗ r!<br />

One way to remember the difference between a permutation and a combination is<br />

that on a combination pizza it doesn’t make any difference whether the sausage<br />

goes on before the pepperoni or whether the onions are put on first - so in a<br />

combination, order is not important!
