How many different combinations are possible in the scenario inside?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Dec 27 '22, 15:33

Five different Yes/No variables - A, B, C, D, E

A & B are completely independent feom each other and the other variables

D & E are dependent on C

If C = Yes then D is N/A and E can be either Yes or No
If C = No, then D can be either Yes or No and E is N/A

2 x 2 x 2 x (2 + 2). I think. So 32? -- nm - TWuG Dec 27, 15:38 3
- that would be the full permutations of all available fields, but don't the limitations factor some of those out? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 27, 15:42 2
  - I *think* you need to factor all of them because all are possible. -- nm - TWuG Dec 27, 15:46 1
    - Looking at Reagen's spreadsheet I see my error. - TWuG Dec 27, 15:49
I got .. sixteen. But I could be wrong. - Beryllium Dec 27, 15:36 4
- I also get 16 -- (pic) - Reagen Dec 27, 15:42 [Attachment] 1
  - Yeah. It's 16... thanks -- nm - Dano Dec 27, 15:51
- (Also, I was assuming you meant permutations, as I don't know that combinations applies in this context) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 27, 15:37 1
  - That's what I meant. So Yes-Yes-Yes-NA-Yes, Yes-Yes-Yes-NA-No, and Yes-Yes-No-Yes-NA are three examples of valid permutations. -- nm - Dano Dec 27, 15:43
I count a total of 10. -- nm - landbeck Dec 27, 15:35
