1. You have 5 invitations remaining for your wedding, and 10 possible guests to invite. (a) Unfortunately, your friends Brittannee and Amber had a falling out, so they cannot both be invited. How many possible different groups could you invite? (b) You decide that Brittannee and Amber are adults, and if they both get invited, that it's their problem and they can figure it out. Unbeknownst to you, the reason that they've had a falling out is that they have both been dating your friend Kevin, who is also one of the possible guests. If all three of them show up, it will ruin your wedding. You whisper "Jesus take the wheel" and select 5 of the guests at random to invite. What is the probability your wedding gets ruined?
