Original question and givens

Select distinct labeled objects without replacement. Ordered and unordered selections are different; the empty selection counts exactly once, with no circular or indistinguishable-object model. n=19, k=2, model=distinct_without_replacement. Give (P(n,k), C(n,k), k!, is k=0?).

  • G001 — Select distinct labeled objects without replacement. Ordered and unordered selections are different; the empty selection counts exactly once, with no circular or indistinguishable-object model. n=19, k=2, model=distinct_without_replacement. Give (P(n,k), C(n,k), k!, is k=0?).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before
