**Combinatorics and Probability Problems: Choosing Sandwiches***Problem Statement:*At a deli counter, there are 7 sandwiches with meat and 10 vegetarian sandwiches. Milan is at the counter buying sandwiches for a picnic. In how many ways can he choose 8 sandwiches if more than 5 must be vegetarian sandwiches?*Solution Explanation:*1. **Initialize the Problem**: - Meat sandwiches available: 7 - Vegetarian sandwiches available: 10 - Total sandwiches to choose: 8 - Minimum vegetarian sandwiches required: 62. **Cases to Consider**: Milan needs to choose at least 6 vegetarian sandwiches. We will consider how many ways he can select different combinations of sandwiches in the following cases: - Case 1: 6 vegetarian and 2 meat sandwiches - Case 2: 7 vegetarian and 1 meat sandwich - Case 3: 8 vegetarian sandwiches3. **Mathematical Computation**: - **Case 1**: Choosing 6 vegetarian and 2 meat sandwiches - Ways to choose 6 vegetarian sandwiches from 10: \( \binom{10}{6} \) - Ways to choose 2 meat sandwiches from 7: \( \binom{7}{2} \) - Combine these: \( \binom{10}{6} \times \(\binom{7}{2} \) - **Case 2**: Choosing 7 vegetarian and 1 meat sandwich - Ways to choose 7 vegetarian sandwiches from 10: \( \binom{10}{7} \) - Ways to choose 1 meat sandwich from 7: \( \binom{7}{1} \) - Combine these: \( \binom{10}{7} \times \(\binom{7}{1} \) - **Case 3**: Choosing 8 vegetarian sandwiches - Ways to choose 8 vegetarian sandwiches from 10: \( \binom{10}{8} \)4. **Combine All Cases** to get the total number of ways: \(\binom{10}{6} \times \binom{7}{2} + \binom{10}{7} \times \binom{7}{1} + \(\binom{10}{8} \)*Interactive
