Help me with this probability queston, please?

Help me with this probability question, please?

And show/explain how to get the result?

Thank you. <3 A bunch. From a class of 30 children, i must select a line of ten. How many different selections can I make? Express your answer in terms of factorials. What if I just want to pick a group of ten (order does not matter)? Again, express your answer in factorials. Thank you!

You would use the Combinations formula b/c the order does not matter:

n = 30

r = 10

/ refers to divided by

C = 30! / 10!(30-10)!

C = 30! / 10!(20)!

C = Use a calculator to solve this b/c its a really long number but I’m pretty sure that this is the way to solve it…

There are four aces in a pack of cards and there are 13 diamonds. These overlap, so that one ace is a diamond. Given you have a diamond, there is a one in 13 chance that it is an ace 1/13 = 4/52 (standard notation for cards is to put odds in terms of 52) Given you have an ace, there is a one in 4 chance that it is a diamond 1/4 = 13/52 (standard notation)

if order is not important, then this is a combination

C(30,10)

which is P(30,10)/10!=30045015

if order is important –

permutation….30x29x28….x21 = 1.09 x 10^14
