Counting Principles

In statistics, the counting principle can be said to be the concept in which the quantity of an item is determined. There can be a single item, or a group of items, or items that are related to each other. In every possible set of items, the quantity of the possible item groups or their sorting measures can be determined with counting principles.

Immediately they each ate 10, then they decided they should save the rest for later. That night, after the others had fallen asleep, Ahab crept to the treasure chest and opened it. He separated the pretzels into 3 equal piles. There was 1 extra pretzel, which he gave to a passing monkey. Then he stole one of the 3 equal piles of pretzels, put the rest back into the chest, and went back to camp. A short time later Bluebeard sneaked over to the chest. He separated the pretzels into four equal piles (he wasn’t quite as greedy as Ahab). There were 2 extra pretzels, which he gave to a passing monkey. He then stole one of the four piles and put the rest back into the chest. Still later Hook went to the chest and separated the pretzels into five equal piles. There were 3 left over, which he gave…
