Question

Decide if this situation represents a permutation or combination
and explain why.
There are 8 groups in a science class completing a project. The
teacher will select the best 3 and hang them on the wall.

Answer: This is neither a permutation or a combination. It is a trick question.

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this question, you would just multiply the two numbers by each other. So in this case it would be 8*3 because of the fundamental counting principle.
