Is the selection a permutation, a combination, or neither? a student checks out 5 novels from the library. choose the correct answer below.
a. the selection is a combination.
b. the selection is a permutation.
c. the selection is neither a permutation or a combination.

A. The selection is a combination.

Step-by-step explanation:

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which they were selected.  

Then, a permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, with regard to the order of the arrangement.

For example, the student scans the novels to be checked out in no particular order hence it is a combinations problem. Scanning novels with titles A, B, C, D and E in the order B, C, D, E and then A produces the same result. When it comes to library books, the order in which we scan the novels for check out is of no importance since in the end the same novels are carried out the door by the library patron.

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
