What is the difference between permutation and combinations?
A permutation is an arrangement of objects in some specific order. Permutations are regarded as ordered elements. A selection in which order is not important is called a combination. Combinations are regarded as sets. For example, if there is a group of 3 different colored balls, then any group of 2 balls selected from it will be considered as a combination, whereas the different arrangements of every combination will be considered as a permutation.
Why are the answers from a permutation bigger than from a combination?
Because a permutation includes all the different arrangements or order of the items in a set. In a combination the order doesn't matter or count.

Is how many ways can you choose 4 Cd's from a stack of 8Cd's a combination or permutation?
Any 4 from 8 is a permutation, solved by the use of factorials: 8!/((8-4)! x 4!) which simplifies to (8 x 7 x 6 x 5)/(4 x 3 x 2) ie 70 different ways.
