User question:
user: I'm working on a few probability problems for my statistics class, and I need to figure out some permutations. Could you help me calculate the number of different ways to arrange 5 books on a shelf if I have 20 books to choose from, the number of different lineups I can create with 5 players on the court when there are 12 players on the team for my basketball team project, and the number of different combinations for choosing 3 main courses from a selection of 10 on the menu for a dinner event I'm planning?
