✔ 最佳答案
a)
U represents a child under 3 years old. n(U) = 7
U' represents a child 3 or more years old. n(U') = 16 - 7 = 9

To form a possible combination, select 2U from 7U (₇C₂), and select 3U from 9U(₉C₃).
The number of possible combinations
= ₇C₂ × ₉C₃
= 21 × 84
= 1764

====
b)
Firstly, selected both Allan and Hannah (₂C₂), and 6U and 8U' are left.
Then, select one more U from 6U left (₆C₁), and select 2 more U' from 8U' left (₈C₂).

Number of combinations
= ₂C₂ × ₆C₁ × ₈C₂
= 1 × 6 × 28
= 168
