how does nCr(probability) work? I thought it was input over output times input minus output, but the if nCr(5,2) I got .83333 and this calculator got 10, which would be .1. What did I do wrong? how do you solve it by hand? I think it has something to do with the exclamation marks, but what is it and how does it work?

nCr will ALWAYS give a positive integer answer!

 

\(5C2=\frac{5!}{2!3!}=10\)

 

 

\(5!=1*2*3*4*5\)

 

 

etc
