Is the selection a permutation, a combination, or neither? a student checks out 5 novels from the library. choose the correct answer below.
a. the selection is a combination.
b. the selection is a permutation.
c. the selection is neither a permutation or a combination.

A. The selection is a combination.

Step-by-step explanation:

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which they were selected.  

Then, a permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, with regard to the order of the arrangement.

For example, the student scans the novels to be checked out in no particular order hence it is a combinations problem. Scanning novels with titles A, B, C, D and E in the order B, C, D, E and then A produces the same result. When it comes to library books, the order in which we scan the novels for check out is of no importance since in the end the same novels are carried out the door by the library patron.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
