Exploring Permutations and Combinations

This video tutorial covers permutations and combinations, explaining the differences between them and how to calculate each. Permutations are arrangements where order matters, while combinations are arrangements where order does not matter. The video provides examples for both concepts, including scenarios with horses, cars, students, paint shades, and raffle winners. It also demonstrates how to use a calculator for these calculations.
