probability of having specific numbers in an array selected from another array
$begingroup$
Let's assume that A = {1,2,3,4,5,6}.
3 numbers are selected from A in a repeated manner. Therefore, there are 6x6x6=216 possibilities which are;
111,112,113,...,166,
211,212,213,...,266,
311,312,313,...,366,
411,412,413,...,466,
511,512,513,...,566,
611,612,613,...,666.
How many of them contain 2 AND 5 ?
When calculated manually, the result is 30. However, how to get 30 by calculating with permutation and combination?
For this type of questions, I want to extract a general formula with permutation and combination.
Thanks in advance.

Note that there are 6 ways to choose the placement of the roll of 2 and 5 among the three rolls, and there are 6 choices for the remaining rolls. Hence, there are a total of 36 possibilities.
However, we have overcounted the case when the third roll is either 2 or 5. Note that if the third roll is 2, there are 3 possibilities of how to arrange the three rolls, as is the case when the third roll is 5.
Hence, our answer is $36-3-3=30$.

It looks like it is right. But, is it possible to get 30 with a general formula in which permutation and combination is used? When the numbers are large, it will be difficult to think all possibilities and overcounted ones.

Nope, you have to use inclusion-exclusion unfortunately.
