store. He is trying to determine the number of ways he can fill his bag with his 5 doughnuts from the 20
varieties in the display case. He considers the order in which the doughnuts are placed into the bag to be
unimportant. How many different ways can he put them in his bag?
Solution: Since the order in which the doughnuts are placed in the bag does not matter, the problem is solved
as a combination.

Figure 3
where P(X) is the probability of having X successes observed, nCx is the combination of n items taken
x at a time, and p is the probability of a success on each trial.
