Example:
Suppose we have a set of three letters: A, B, and C. We might
ask how many ways we can arrange 2 letters from that set.
Each possible arrangement would be an example of
a permutation.
Example:
M=1, I=4, S=4, P=2 for a total of 11 letters. ... When you
simplify that ratio of factorials, you get that there are
34,650 distinguishable permutations in the word
MISSISSIPPI.
Example:
In how many ways can 6 people be seated at a round
table?
Example:
Combination: Choosing 3 desserts from a menu of 10.
C(10,3) = 120. Permutation: Listing your 3 favorite
desserts, in order, from a menu of 10. P(10,3) = 720.

The favorable outcome is rolling a five, and that can only occur
once using one die. The total number of outcomes is six, since
the die is 6-sided. So the probability of rolling a five is 1/6.
