Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Combination vs. Permutation
A combination refers to a selection of items from a larger set where the order does not matter, while a permutation involves an arrangement of items where the order is significant. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurately interpreting statements about arrangements and selections in statistics.

Ordered Arrangement
An ordered arrangement implies that the sequence of items is important, meaning that different sequences of the same items are considered distinct. This concept is fundamental in distinguishing between combinations and permutations, as it directly affects how we count and analyze different groupings of data.

True/False Statements in Mathematics
In mathematics, determining the truth value of a statement often involves understanding definitions and properties of terms used. In this case, recognizing that a combination is not an ordered arrangement allows us to assess the statement's validity and, if false, to reformulate it correctly.
