Organized Counting
1. **Define terms:**
1.a. Permutation: An arrangement of objects in a specific order. Example: Arranging 3 books on a shelf in order.
1.b. Combination: A selection of objects without regard to order. Example: Choosing 2 fruits from an apple, banana, and orange.
1.c. Factorial: The product of all positive integers up to a number $n$, denoted $n!$. Example: $4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24$.
1.d. Mutually exclusive: Two events that cannot happen at the same time. Example: Tossing a coin results in heads or tails, not both.
2. Chris's meal choices:
2.a. Tree diagram: (User to create physically or digitally as per instructions.)
2.b. Number of different meals: $3 \times 2 \times 3 = 18$.
2.c. Meals without Eggplant and Fritter together:
- Total meals: 18
- Meals with Eggplant and Fritter: $1 \times 1 \times 1 = 1$
- So, meals possible: $18 - 1 = 17$.
2.d. Meals with at least one of Artichoke, Eggplant, Hot chocolate:
- Total meals: 18
- Meals without any of these: Choose from Bruschetta (appetizer), Drumsticks (main), Fritter or Gelato (dessert except Hot chocolate)
- Number without these: $1 \times 1 \times 2 = 2$
- So, meals possible: $18 - 2 = 16$.
3. Number of different tests:
- Multiply options: $8 \times 3 \times 2 \times 21 = 1008$.
4. Word ABSOLUTE (8 letters):
4.a. Total arrangements: $8! = 40320$.
4.b. Arrangements with A and B together:
- Treat AB as one unit: now 7 units.
- Arrangements: $7! = 5040$.
- AB can be AB or BA: multiply by 2.
- Total: $5040 \times 2 = 10080$.
4.c. Arrangements starting with vowel (A, E, O, U) and ending with A or T:
- Vowels in ABSOLUTE: A, O, U, E
- Ending letters: A or T
- Case 1: Start A, end A (impossible, only one A)
- Case 2: Start A, end T
- Case 3: Start E, end A or T
- Case 4: Start O, end A or T
- Case 5: Start U, end A or T
Calculate each case:
- Fix start and end, arrange remaining 6 letters.
- Number of arrangements for each case: $6! = 720$
Count valid cases:
- Start A, end T: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start E, end A: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start E, end T: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start O, end A: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start O, end T: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start U, end A: 1 case, 720 arrangements
- Start U, end T: 1 case, 720 arrangements
Total: $7 \times 720 = 5040$.
5. Digits {1,2,3,4,5} forming 3-digit numbers:
5.a. No digit repeated:
- Choices: $5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60$.
5.b. Number must be even, no digit repeated:
- Even digits: 2,4
- Last digit choices: 2 options
- First digit choices: 4 (excluding last digit)
- Middle digit choices: 3 (excluding first and last)
- Total: $4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24$.
5.c. Number must contain at least 1 repeated digit:
- Total 3-digit numbers with digits 1-5: $5^3 = 125$
- Numbers with no repeated digits: 60 (from 5.a)
- So, numbers with at least one repeated digit: $125 - 60 = 65$.
6. Deck of cards with values 5-10, 4 suits:
6.a. Number of 5-card hands:
- Total cards: $6 \times 4 = 24$
- Number of 5-card hands: $\binom{24}{5} = 42504$.
6.b. Hands with at least 4 red cards (Hearts and Diamonds):
- Red cards: $6 \times 2 = 12$
- Cases:
- 4 red + 1 black: $\binom{12}{4} \times \binom{12}{1} = 495 \times 12 = 5940$
- 5 red: $\binom{12}{5} = 792$
- Total: $5940 + 792 = 6732$.
6.c. Hands with at least one club and at least one heart:
- Total hands: 42504
- Hands with no clubs: $\binom{18}{5} = 8568$
- Hands with no hearts: $\binom{18}{5} = 8568$
- Hands with no clubs and no hearts (only spades and diamonds): $\binom{12}{5} = 792$
- By inclusion-exclusion:
- Hands with at least one club and one heart = $42504 - 8568 - 8568 + 792 = 25760$.
6.d. Hands with at least one spade and at least two 10s:
- Number of 10s: 4 (one per suit)
- At least two 10s means 2, 3, or 4 tens.
- Calculate for each case and sum:
Case 1: Exactly 2 tens:
- Choose 2 tens: $\binom{4}{2} = 6$
- Choose 3 other cards from 20 non-10 cards: $\binom{20}{3} = 1140$
- Total: $6 \times 1140 = 6840$
Case 2: Exactly 3 tens:
- Choose 3 tens: $\binom{4}{3} = 4$
- Choose 2 other cards from 20: $\binom{20}{2} = 190$
- Total: $4 \times 190 = 760$
Case 3: Exactly 4 tens:
- Choose all 4 tens: 1 way
- Choose 1 other card from 20: $\binom{20}{1} = 20$
- Total: $1 \times 20 = 20$
Sum: $6840 + 760 + 20 = 7620$
Now, must have at least one spade:
- Count hands with at least 2 tens but no spade:
- Tens without spade 10: choose 2,3,4 tens from 3 tens (non-spade tens)
No spade tens:
- 2 tens: $\binom{3}{2} = 3$, choose 3 from 20
- 3 tens: $\binom{3}{3} = 1$, choose 2 from 20
- 4 tens: impossible (only 3 tens without spade)
Calculate no spade tens hands:
- 2 tens no spade: $3 \times 1140 = 3420$
- 3 tens no spade: $1 \times 190 = 190$
- 4 tens no spade: 0
Total no spade tens: $3420 + 190 = 3610$
Hands with at least 2 tens and at least one spade:
- $7620 - 3610 = 4010$.

- Values: 1, 8, 28, 56, 70, 56, 28, 8, 1
- Found using $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ or by adding adjacent numbers from row 7.

9. Paths on Cartesian grid moving right and up:
9.a. From A(0,0) to B(6,3):
- Total moves: $6 + 3 = 9$
- Choose positions of 3 ups (or 6 rights): $\binom{9}{3} = 84$.
9.b. From A(0,0) to C(9,10) passing through D(5,4) and E(7,8):
- Paths A to D: $\binom{5+4}{4} = \binom{9}{4} = 126$
- Paths D to E: $\binom{7-5 + 8-4}{7-5} = \binom{6}{2} = 15$
- Paths E to C: $\binom{9-7 + 10-8}{9-7} = \binom{4}{2} = 6$
- Total paths: $126 \times 15 \times 6 = 11340$.
10. Survey of 200 students:
Given:
- Crosswords (C): 68
- Baking (B): 97
- Acting (A): 71
- A and C: 20
- A and B: 29
- B and C: 23
- None: 28
Total students enjoying at least one activity: $200 - 28 = 172$
10.a. Number enjoying all three (A \cap B \cap C):
- Use inclusion-exclusion:
$$|A \cup B \cup C| = |A| + |B| + |C| - |A \cap B| - |A \cap C| - |B \cap C| + |A \cap B \cap C|$$
- Substitute:
$$172 = 71 + 97 + 68 - 29 - 20 - 23 + |A \cap B \cap C|$$
- Calculate:
$$172 = 236 - 72 + |A \cap B \cap C|$$
$$172 = 164 + |A \cap B \cap C|$$
- So,
$$|A \cap B \cap C| = 172 - 164 = 8$$
10.b. Number enjoying only acting:
- Only A = $|A| - |A \cap B| - |A \cap C| + |A \cap B \cap C|$
- Substitute:
$$71 - 29 - 20 + 8 = 30$$
10.c. Number enjoying only baking:
- Only B = $|B| - |A \cap B| - |B \cap C| + |A \cap B \cap C|$
- Substitute:
$$97 - 29 - 23 + 8 = 53$$
10.d. Venn diagram description:
- Three overlapping circles labeled Acting, Baking, Crosswords.
- Center intersection (all three): 8
- Pairwise intersections minus center:
- Acting & Baking only: $29 - 8 = 21$
- Acting & Crosswords only: $20 - 8 = 12$
- Baking & Crosswords only: $23 - 8 = 15$
- Only one activity:
- Acting only: 30
- Baking only: 53
- Crosswords only: $68 - 12 - 15 - 8 = 33$
- Outside all circles: 28
This completes all questions.
