Inclusion/Exclusion Principle
Sandy Irani
ICS 6D
The Sum Rule (Review)
• For finite sets A1, A2,…, An ,
If the sets are pairwise disjoint (Ai ∩ Aj = φ, for i≠j)
then |A1 ∪ A2 ∪ … ∪ An|= |A1| + |A2| + … + |An|
• What if the sets are not pairwise disjoint?
Inclusion/Exclusion Example
• How many strings of length 6 over the alphabet {A, B, C} start with a C or a B?
• How many strings of length 6 over the alphabet {A, B, C} start with a C or end with a C?
Inclusion/Exclusion 2 Sets
• |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B|
• S general population of elements
• P1 is the set of elements with property 1
• P2 is the set of elements with property 2
• How many elements in S have property 1 or 2 (inclusive or)?
| P1 ∪ P2| = Number of elements with property 1
+ Number of elements with property 2
- Number of elements with both properties.
Inclusion/Exclusion Example
• How many 5-card hands from a standard playing hand have exactly one King or exactly one Ace (or both)?
*
Inclusion/Exclusion Example
• How many strings of length 6 over the alphabet {A, B, C} have at least 5 consecutive A’s?
Inclusion/Exclusion with 3 Sets
• |A ∪ B ∪ C| = |A| + |B| + |C|
- |A ∩ B| - |A ∩ C| - |B ∩ C|
+ |A ∩ B ∩ C|
Inclusion/Exclusion with 3 Sets
• Drug test on a population of 1000 people – 122 people develop symptom A
– 88 people develop symptom B
– 112 people develop symptom C
– 27 people develop symptom A and B
– 29 people develop symptom A and C
– 32 people develop symptom B and C
– 10 people develop all three symptoms
• How many people get at least one symptom?
Inclusion/Exclusion with 3 Sets
• Line up of 7 people:
– Mother, Father, 3 sons, 2 daughters
• How many line-ups are there in which the mother is next to at least one of her 3 sons?
Inclusion/Exclusion Example
• How many strings of length 6 over the alphabet {A, B, C, D, E} have at least 4 consecutive A’s?
*
Incl/Excl 3 Sets
• How many integers in the range 1 through 42 are divisible by 2, 3, or 7?
Inclusion/Exclusion with 4 Sets
• |A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D | = |A| + |B| + |C| + |D|
- |A ∩ B| - |A ∩ C| - |B ∩ C|
- |A ∩ D| - |B ∩ D| - |C ∩ D|
+ |A ∩ B ∩ C| + |A ∩ B ∩ D|
+ |A ∩ C ∩ D| + |B ∩ C ∩ D|
- |A ∩ B ∩ C ∩ D|
Inclusion/Exclusion with 4 Sets
• Suppose you are using the inclusion-exclusion principle to compute the number of elements in the union of four sets. – Each set has 15 elements.
– The pair-wise intersections have 5 elements each.
– The three-way intersections have 2 elements each.
– There is only one element in the intersection of all four sets. What is the size of the union?
• What is the size of the union?
Incl/Excl and counting by complement
• How many 5-card hands have at least one ace or at least one queen (inclusive or)?
More Donut Selection
• How many ways to select 20 donuts from 4 varieties. There is a large selection of glazed and maple. But there are only 5 chocolates left and only 3 jelly left. (# chocolates must be ≤ 5)
Number of selections with at most 5
chocolate donuts and at most 3
Jelly donuts
Number of selections
with no restrictions
Number of selections with more than 5 chocolate donuts OR more than 3 chocolate donuts
= -
