- Determine the minimum number of people at a party so that at least one of the following occurs: There are three people that are face-to-face acquaintances (f2f friends), there are three people that have met online, but not face to face (online friends) or there are three people that are mutual strangers, having never met before. I recieved a hint to use the pigeonhole principle here but I am confused.arrow_forwardAt the imaginary university e/UT there are 101 students in their first year at M&CS. In their first year the students need to take k courses. To help them the students are registered for tutor groups. The following conditions hold: o Every student is involved in each course. o Each student is involved in one or more tutor groups. o Each tutor group is involved in one or more courses. o Every student in a course is involved in exactly two tutor groups. o Each pair of students is involved in exactly one tutor group.

- Human blood can contain the A antigen, the B antigen, both the A and B antigens, or neither antigen. It may or may not also contain the Rh antigen. Blood is called type A-positive if the individual has the A and Rh but not the B antigen. A person having only the A and B antigens is said to have type AB-negative blood. A person having only the Rh antigen has type O-positive blood. Other blood types are defined in a similar manner. In a certain hospital, the data, shown to the right, was recorded. Use a Venn diagram to answer parts (a) through (h) about the blood samples. For parts (d) through (h), the presence or absence of antigens determines blood type. (a) How many samples were represented? samples C # of Samples 18 9 30 13 21 11 8 6 Antigen in Blood A A and B B B and Rh Rh None A and Rh A, B, and Rharrow_forwardpart Darrow_forwardIf finite set A has a elements and finite set B has b elements, and a > b what is the minimum number of elements AUB could have?
