Question

Use the counting unions method, counting cartesian product or pigeon principle method to get the answer

Express your response via sets you dene before computing a value below. For example, you might begin your response with `A = set of some objects`, `B = set of some other objects` and then compute some expression for what you're seeking to count: (see image)

1 in the image means Henry requires only that he have one shoe for his right foot and another shoe for his left foot, they needn't match

**Combination Problems**

**Problem i**

Regular MA license plates have 3 digits followed by 3 (uppercase) letters, e.g., ‘924 VXA’ or 4 digits followed by 2 (uppercase) letters, e.g., ‘2012 CS’. How many different license plates are possible?

**Problem ii**

Henry owns 3 hiking shoes and 5 running shoes for his left foot. He owns 12 running shoes for his right foot. How many different pairs of shoes, one left and one right, can he form?

**Note**: The formula displayed above the problems illustrates how to calculate the number of combinations possible when multiplying different sets:  
\[ |A \times B| = |A| \times |B| = 3 \times 7 = 21 \]  

This means if set A has 3 elements and set B has 7 elements, then the combination of the two sets \( A \times B \) will have 21 elements.

This explanation provides a foundation for understanding how to approach these types of problems using combinations and permutations.
