Answer:

A combination, in the context of mathematics and statistics, can be described using a word equation as follows:

"A combination is a selection of items or elements from a larger set, where the order of selection does not matter."

In this equation:

- "Selection" refers to the process of choosing certain items or elements from a larger group or set.

- "Items" or "elements" are the individual objects or members being chosen.

- "Larger set" represents the total collection or pool from which the selections are made.

- "Order" indicates that the arrangement or sequence in which the items are chosen is irrelevant.

Combinations are often used in combinatorics and probability to calculate the number of ways to choose a certain number of items from a larger set without regard to the order in which they were chosen. This is in contrast to permutations, where the order of selection does matter.
