DEFINITIONS

Product rule If one event can occur in m ways AND a second event can occur in
n ways, the number of ways the two events can occur in sequence is then m ⋅ n.

Sum rule If an event can occur either in m ways OR in n ways (non-overlapping),

the number of ways the event can occur is then m + n.

Subtraction rule If an event can occur either in m ways OR in n ways

(overlapping), the number of ways the event can occur is then m + n decreased by

the number of ways that the event can occur commonly to the two different ways.
