Total students = 5 + 5 + 3 = 13
Numbers of students majoring in Computer Science = 5
Numbers of students not majoring in Computer Science = 13 - 5 = 8
Number of groups with at most 2 students majoring in Computer Science = Number of groups with 0 students majoring in Computer Science + Number of groups with 1 students majoring in Computer Science + Number of groups with 2 students majoring in Computer Science
=(C05C38)+(C15C28)+(C25C18)
=(156)+(528)+(108)
=276
