What is 1 choose 3?
Answer
1 choose 3 is
0
Order doesn't matter, no repeats: you can't choose 3 items from 1, so there are 0 ways.
3 > 1 → C(1, 3) = 0
If order matters (permutations): P(1, 3) = 0 too.
Row sum: 21 = 2 — all subsets of 1 item.
k = 3 is past the end of row 1.

How many ways are there if order matters?
Still none: 3 different items can't be taken from 1 in any order, so P(1, 3) = 0 too.
