2.1.1, Introduction
In this chapter we are mainly concerned with det
the number of logical possibilities
necessarily identifying every case.

of some event without
For example, suppose we are to create password which is
six to eight characters long, where each character is an English
letter (upper or lower case) or a special character from the set
{#, @, &}. Here we are concerned with the number of such
possible passwords without identifying every password. Finding
this type of number is counting. There are two basic counting
principles used throughout.
2.1.2. Sum Rule Principle
Let some event A can occur in n, ways and the event B can
occur in n, ways; A and B cannot occur simultaneously. Then
‘A or B’ can occur in m+n, ways.
More, generally let an event A, can occur in n, ways, A,
can occur in n, ways, 4, can occur in n, Ways...and so on.
Suppose no two of the events can occur at the same time.
Then one of the events A,,A), 4, ...can occur in n
+n tnt
ways.
Illustrations
(@ Suppose there are 8 characters each of English letters
and 5 special symbols. A person can choose a character in
8+5=13 ways.
(ti) Suppose A=“Choosing a prime number between 10 and
20", B=“Choosing an even number between 10 and 20". A
can occur in 4 ways {I 1,13,17,19} and B can occur in 4 ways
{12, 14, 16,18}. Note that A and B can not occur simulaneously.
So ‘A or B’ can occur in 444=8 ways.COUNTING TECHNIQUES
