These ribbons be awarded to 3 of 13 pigs in 1716
We have given that,
13 pigs are entered in the best pig competition at the country fair the judges will award very special pigs with blue, red, and white ribbons
We have to determine how many different ways can these ribbons be awarded to 3 of 13 pigs.
What is the permutation?
A permutation of a set is, loosely speaking, an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order, or if the set is already ordered, a rearrangement of its elements.
So the judges are going to pick 3 pigs from the 13 to give a ribbon. Since the ribbons are different, the order does matter.
So this is a permutation. This can be set up like this:
Therefore we get,
13*12*11=1716
