What is combination in mathematics?

"Combination  determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter."

Formula for combination:

[tex]^{n}C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

For given example,

There are 12 paintings at an art show.

⇒ n = 12

Three of them are chosen randomly to display in the gallery window.

⇒ r = 3

So, using the formula for combination, the number of possible ways to choose the paintings would be,

[tex]\Rightarrow~ ^{n}C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\\Rightarrow~ ^{12}C_3=\frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!}\\\\\Rightarrow~ ^{12}C_3=\frac{12!}{3!\times 9!}\\\\\Rightarrow~^{12}C_3=220[/tex]

Therefore, there are 220 ways to choose the paintings.
