To calculate number of arrangements where some of the elements are indistinguishable e.g.(1) possible 7-digit codes out of a choice of 3A's, 2B's, 1C and 1D e.g.(2) probability of 2 heads in a series of 3 coin tosses

(total number of arrangements) / (Factorial of number of indistinguishable elements) e.g.(1) 3A's and 2B's are indistinguishable hence 7! / (3! x 2!) e.g.(2) a specific combination has the probability of 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125 (or 1/8). Multiply this by number of ways of arranging HHT, which is 3! / (2! x 1!) = 3. Answer is 0.125 x 3 = 0.375
