First you should know about FACTORIAL.

In Math/stat, this symbol “!” is called FACTORIAL. It is equal to multiply all previous
values.
For example:

And so on. This way you can find the factorial of any value.
Factorial of small number is EASY but for large values you NEED to use scientific
calculator.

There are two special cases.


Factorial of 0 = 0! = 1 (always)
Factorial of 1 = 1! = 1 (always)

Next we see another term.


To know that the “in how many ways” we can select a value from the given group, we
use a special method. This method is called “rule of combination” or simply known as
“combination”.

Now we come towards (rule of) COMBINATION.

When we want to select 6 cards (things) from group of 52 cards (things), we will write it
in this way

Note: There is NO division line between upper and lower values.

It can be written as below

Note: We read it as “52 C 6”. (C stands for Combination)

How to solve it?


We solve it with the help of factorial. The rule is as below:
Similarly,

Now putting values in probability formula
