The problem in the following video is solved in two ways: first using cases and stages, and then using complements. We can use combinations here since no one will take the survey more than once (no repeats) and since all participants have the same roll: taking the survey.

An example with students in math courses illustrates this principle. It also defines a derangement as a permutation where no element retains its original position, and concludes with practice checkpoints on related counting problems.

It generalizes this approach for various scenarios, including password and license plate combinations with specific repetition rules. The text also presents exercises for practice and problem-solving in different contexts, such as making meals and belts, emphasizing the utility of multiplication in simplifying counting tasks.

Pues sí, pero lo que vamos a investigar aquí son formas de contar de manera eficiente. Cuando lleguemos a las situaciones de probabilidad un poco más adelante en este capítulo, tendremos que contar algunos números muy grandes, como el número de posibles boletos ganadores de lotería. Una forma de hacerlo sería anotar cada conjunto posible de números que pudieran aparecer en un boleto de lotería, pero c
