Step 1: Recall the formula for combinations, which is used to calculate the number of ways to choose r items from a set of n items. The formula is: C(n,r)=n!r!(n-r)!.
Step 2: Apply the formula to calculate C75. Substitute n = 7 and r = 5 into the formula: 7!5!(7-5)!.
Step 3: Simplify the denominator of the formula for C75. The denominator becomes 5!(2!), since 7-5=2.
Step 4: Similarly, calculate C72 using the same formula. Substitute n = 7 and r = 2 into the formula: 7!2!(7-2)!.
Step 5: Observe that the calculations for C75 and C72 are equivalent because of the symmetry property of combinations: Cnr=Cn(n-r). Conclude that the statement is true.

Combinatorial Notation

Combinatorial notation, often represented as nCr or C(n, r), denotes the number of ways to choose r elements from a set of n elements without regard to the order of selection. It is calculated using the formula nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!), where '!' denotes factorial, the product of all positive integers up to that number.

Factorial

A factorial, denoted as n!, is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n. For example, 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. Factorials are fundamental in combinatorics, particularly in calculating combinations and permutations, as they help determine the total arrangements or selections possible.

Properties of Combinations

One important property of combinations is that C(n, r) = C(n, n-r). This means that choosing r elements from n is equivalent to leaving out n-r elements. This property is crucial for simplifying combinatorial expressions and understanding relationships between different combinations.

"According to Bayes’ Theorem, the probability of event A , given that event B has occurred, is

P(A|B) = P(A) * P(B|A)P(A) * P(B|A) + P(A') * P(B|A').

In Exercises 33–38, use Bayes’ Theorem to find P(A|B).
