Here is the problem: How many ways can you choose 5 items from 52?

2
00:00:05.256 --> 00:00:08.054
Combinations nCr (order does not matter).

3
00:00:08.854 --> 00:00:10.537
Use the combination formula.

4
00:00:10.987 --> 00:00:14.621
Divide the permutations by r! because order does not matter.

5
00:00:15.421 --> 00:00:22.735
So the answer is C(52, 5) equals 2,598,960.

6
00:00:23.185 --> 00:00:31.649
There are 2,598,960 ways to choose 5 items from 52 when order does not matter.

7
00:00:32.449 --> 00:00:50.502
Check: P(52, 5) equals C(52, 5) times 5! equals 2,598,960 times 120 equals 311,875,200.
