Combinations focus on ways to choose k items out of n without regard to order, calculated as C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n–k)!]. For instance, to find the number of ways to select 2 fruits from {Apple, Banana, Cherry}, you have 3 choices: AB, AC, BC, which is C(3, 2) = 3. Combinations appear in scenarios like forming committees, picking lottery numbers, or combining flavors in recipes. Understanding the difference between permutations and combinations clarifies everything from business inventory groupings to advanced probability, ensuring a robust combinatorial foundation.
