An unordered set is a set where the order of the elements does not matter. Without replacement means that you can not pick the same element more than once.
Theory
When you draw elements from a set of elements, you call the number of possible distributions the combinations.
Note! The order does not matter!
Example 1
You’re planning on going to college after high school, and decided to apply to the University of California. The university has 1700 courses, and each student is assigned five courses at random each semester.
different ways all your courses are among the courses you like. You found the total number of possible outcomes in Exercise 1, so the probability of all the five courses being the ones you like becomes
You could say that it’s a good idea to let the students choose their own courses, and not get their education based on the results of a lottery!
Example 2
In a class of 20 students, 5 of the students are chosen to form a study group. There are 7 boys and 13 girls in the class.
Because we’re talking about the composition of groups, and not what order they’re chosen in, this is an unordered set.
