Respuesta :

The missing combinations are H-T-P and C-T-S.

Further explanation

The probability of an event is defined as the possibility of an event occurring against sample space.

[tex]\large { \boxed {P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes to A}}{\text {Total Number of Outcomes}} } }[/tex]

Permutation ( Arrangement )

Permutation is the number of ways to arrange objects.

[tex]\large {\boxed {^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!} } }[/tex]

Combination ( Selection )

Combination is the number of ways to select objects.

[tex]\large {\boxed {^nC_r = \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!} } }[/tex]

Let us tackle the problem!

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

This problem is about Combination.

Peter is selling Hazelnut (H), Chocolate (C), Tiramisu (T), Pistachio (P), and Strawberry (S). Total Combinations will be:

[tex]^5 C_3 = \frac{5!}{( 5 - 3 )! 3!}[/tex]

[tex]^5 C_3 = \frac{5!}{ 2 ! 3 !}[/tex]

[tex]^5 C_3 = 5 \times 4 \div 2[/tex]

[tex]^5 C_3 = \boxed{10}[/tex]

List of Possible Combinations:

H-C-T

H-C-P

H-C-S

H-T-P

H-T-S

H-P-S

C-T-P

C-T-S

C-P-S

T-P-S

The missing combinations are H-T-P and C-T-S.

Answer:

C-T-S  

H-T-P

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, you want to combine 5 differents flavors selecting 3 of them. C(5, 3) = 10, so, there are 10 different arrangements, 8 of them were already selected, C-T-S and  H-T-P are missing . Notice that S-T-H is not correct because H-T-S is already chosen and P-T-S is not correct because T-P-S is already chosen.
