From (10) mathematics and (7) physics books (6) books are to be selected with at least (3) mathematics books. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10584

With at least 3 mathematics books, the number of mathematics books selected can be 3, 4, 5, or 6. Hence, the total number of selections is
\(\binom{10}{3}\binom{7}{3}+\binom{10}{4}\binom{7}{2}+\binom{10}{5}\binom{7}{1}+\binom{10}{6}\binom{7}{0}\)
\(=4200+4410+1764+210=10584\). Therefore, 10584 is correct. Counting only the case of exactly 3 mathematics books misses the other valid cases. Exam tip: for “at least” conditions, add all permissible cases.
