Explanation / Answer

a)

20C10=184756

b)

11C6*9C4=58212

c)

10C6*9C4=26460

d)

1C1*9C5*9C4 (Sam and Tyler both join)

OR

9C6*9C4 (Only Sam joins)

OR

8C6*9C4 (Neither joins)

=15876+10584+3528=29988

e)

10C6*8C4 (Matt joins and Jenn doesn’t)

OR

9C6*9C4 (Jenn joins and Matt doesn’t)

14700+10584=25284
