This math topic focuses on practicing the conversion of factorial notation to permutation and combination notation expressions in probability and statistics. Specifically, it covers converting various factorial expressions like "5!", "6! over 4!", and "4! over 2!" into nPm or nCm format, which are used to signify permutations and combinations in binomial notation. These problems aim to test the understanding of factorial notation and its applications in solving probability problems through the permutation and combination framework. Students are presented with options and asked to select the correct notation per given factorial expression.
