Subgroup Calculation Strategy
We need to find the number of subgroups containing at least one Indian. A straightforward approach is to calculate the total possible subgroups and subtract the subgroups that contain *no* Indians.
Total Possible Subgroups
The group has 6 people in total (3 Indians + 3 Chinese). The total number of possible subgroups (including the empty set) that can be formed from 6 people is given by $2^n$, where $n$ is the number of people.
Total subgroups = $2^6 = 64$.
Subgroups Without Indians
Subgroups with no Indians must be formed exclusively from the Chinese members. There are 3 Chinese people.
The number of subgroups that can be formed using only the 3 Chinese people is $2^3$.
Subgroups with only Chinese members = $2^3 = 8$.
Calculating Subgroups With At Least One Indian
To find the number of subgroups with at least one Indian, we subtract the number of subgroups containing only Chinese people from the total number of subgroups.
Number of subgroups with at least one Indian = (Total subgroups) - (Subgroups with only Chinese members)
Number of subgroups with at least one Indian = $2^6 - 2^3 = 64 - 8 = 56$.
Therefore, there are 56 subgroups that include at least one Indian.
