Probability and Permutation with Repetition Thanks very much for the detailed reply. Your explanation was clearer than the book's(!). As for the notation: the text defines n(S) as the number of elements in the sample space. n(E) is defined as the number of elements in event E. |

Combination Problem with a Variable @Shai Covo Thanks. I now see, if not so readily, that is in fact what's happening. I'm trying to work through the algebra as much, if not more, than simply getting to the answer. What is the correct simplification of the RHS? |

Combination Problem with a Variable @J. M. Thanks for your reply. The textbook I'm working from hasn't covered binomial coefficients yet. Is there an alternative way to look at it? |

Question about a Question: Simplifying Fractions Yikes, I didn't realize that, thanks. In that case my apologies for the clutter and sloppy reading of StackExchange mechanics. I've done some digging on Meta to see if there's a way for me to consolidate the two questions or if a Mod needs to do it. |

Question about a Question: Simplifying Fractions Thanks. I thought I did understand it a few weeks ago however looking back on it today I was struggling to recall the steps. I also thought posing the question in the comments, so long after the question had been asked, would not have received a response. |

Combination Problem with a Variable Yes, I could see it given the numbers are small. However I wanted to ensure I could perform the computation to get to the answer. Thanks again for your help! |
