Question
Can someone please clarify this for me?
Create two different situations: one in which you use combinations and one in which you use permutations. Include specific details and an explanation about what makes each situation either a combination or permutation.

permutations are just combinations where the order matters.
combination: pick a 3-member committee from 10 candidates
permutation: pick a president, vice-president, and secretary.
