you use nPr, when you want to take note of the order.
Example, in choosing between A,B,C,D & E , how many ways can you choose any 3 arranged letters. (This means ABC is different from ACB or BCA or...)
Then 5P3.
you use nCr , when the order is not important.
Example , how many ways can you get three letters from A,B,C,D & E. (here ABC is no different from BAC since you just got A&B&C.)
Then 5C3.
I got this from Yahoo answers :P
nCr = nPr/r!
Isuzu NPR is bigger then Isuzu NKR, they are more expensive.
NCR-Non Conformance Report; CAR: Corrective Action Request
NPR is a news organization that produces radio programming nationwide. KPCC is a local radio station in Southern California. They produce lcal programming, and also deliver programming produced by many news organizations including APM, BBC, NPR, and PRI.
The combination formula is usually written as nCr representing the number of combinations of r objects at a time taken from n. nCr = n!/[r!*(n-r)!] The permutation formula is usually written as nPr representing the number of permutations of r objects at a time taken from n. nPr = n!/r! Where n! [n factorial] is 1*2*3*....*(n-1)*n
NCR (Non-Conformance Report) and CAR (Corrective Action Report) are both tools used in quality management but serve different purposes. An NCR is issued when a product or process does not meet specified standards or requirements, documenting the non-conformance. In contrast, a CAR is created to outline the actions that will be taken to correct the issue identified in the NCR and prevent its recurrence. Essentially, the NCR identifies the problem, while the CAR details the corrective measures.
I am not stupid enough to try and list them since there are 55*54*53*52*51*50/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 28,989,675 combinations. nPr=permutation while nCr=combination. The question is how many combination of 6 are there in 55 numbers. So the answer should be based on the formula: nPr = n!/(n-r)! where ! is factorial and nCr = nPr/r! = n!/{(n-r)*r!} ; So using the formula should look likr this 55C6 = 55!/{(55-6)!*6!} = 55!/(49!*6!) = 28,989,675
Press MATH and use the left or right arrow key to select PRB at the top. NCR will be the third option. This goes in between the two numbers, for example: 8 nCr 5
As of July 2014, the market cap for NCR Corporation (NCR) is $5,416,454,000.00.
The motto of Public Radio International is 'Hear a different voice'.
The ticker symbol for NCR Corporation is NCR and it is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
nPr in math stands for permutation :)
