11 choose 1 is 11

Why is 11 choose 1 the same as 11 choose 10?

Every way to choose 1 of 11 items leaves exactly 10 behind, so choosing 1 and choosing which 10 to leave out are the same count: 11 choose 1 = 11 choose 10 = 11. In the formula n! / (k! (n − k)!) the two factorials below just swap places.

How many ways are there if order matters?

The same 11: with 1 chosen item there is only one order, so P(11, 1) = 11 choose 1 = 11. Order starts to matter from 2 items on: n × (n − 1) arrangements.
