COMBIN(n,r)
- 'N' is the number of items.
- 'R' is the number of items in each arrangement.
Description
- This function gives the combination of N objects.
- i.e.An arrangement of R objects without any repetition,
- selected from N different objects is called a combination of N objects taken R at a time.
- Also if the order doesn't a matter, it is a combination.
- If order is the matter it is a permutation.
- A combination is dnoted by ncr or(n r).
- A formula for the number of possible combinations of R objects from a set of N objects is (n r)=n!/r!(n-r)!, *where n!=1*2*3*...*n& r<=n.
- This function will give the result is Error when
1. The N&R are non numeric 2. The N&R<0 or N<R
- When we are giving the N&R values in decimals ,it will convert in to Integers.
- CHIDIST(-2,1)=Error,because x is negative.
- CHIDIST(2,-1)=Error, because df<1
Examples
| CHIDIST(x,df) | x | df | RESULT |

| CHIDIST(2,1) | 2 | 1 | 0.157299207050 |
| CHIDIST(-2,1) | (-)2 | 1 | error |
| CHIDIST(2,-1) | 2 | (-)1 | error |
