  • rItems chosen

Explanation

Combinations ignore order; permutations count each ordering separately.

            Understanding Combination

            nCr combinations and nPr permutations. Within math calculators, combination belongs to the statistics & probability cluster, where it shares terminology and assumptions with closely related tools.

            Learning how combination is calculated

            Combinations ignore order; permutations count each ordering separately. Working through the variables one at a time — n, r — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using combination to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How combination compares with related measures

            distribution, dispersion, significance, sample all describe adjacent aspects of statistics & probability. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
