The question asks to count the number of grid/lattice paths between two points, possibly with constraints on which intermediate points must or must not be visited.
A good path is a sequence of points in the $XY$ plane such that in each step exactly one of the coordinates increases by 1 and the other stays the same. E.g., $$(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(2,1),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)$$ is a good path from the origin to $(3,3)$. It is a fact that there are exactly 924 good paths from the origin to $(6,6)$. Find the number of good paths from $(0,0)$ to $(6,6)$ that pass through both the points $(1,4)$ and $(2,3)$. [1 point]

As shown in the figure, there is a road network connected in a diamond shape. Starting from point A and traveling the shortest distance to point B without passing through point C or point D, how many ways are there? [3 points] (1) 26 (2) 24 (3) 22 (4) 20 (5) 18
A jump is defined as moving from a point $( x , y )$ on the coordinate plane to one of the three points $( x + 1 , y )$, $( x , y + 1 )$, or $( x + 1 , y + 1 )$. Let $X$ be the random variable representing the number of jumps that occur when one case is randomly selected from all cases of moving from point $( 0,0 )$ to point $( 4,3 )$ by repeating jumps. The following is the process of finding the mean $\mathrm { E } ( X )$ of the random variable $X$. (Here, each case is selected with equal probability.) Let $N$ be the total number of cases of moving from point $( 0,0 )$ to point $( 4,3 )$ by repeating jumps. If the smallest value that the random variable $X$ can take is $k$, then $k =$ (가), and the largest value is $k + 3$. $$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm { P } ( X = k ) = \frac { 1 } { N } \times \frac { 4 ! } { 3 ! } = \frac { 4 } { N } \\
& \mathrm { P } ( X = k + 1 ) = \frac { 1 } { N } \times \frac { 5 ! } { 2 ! 2 ! } = \frac { 30 } { N } \\
& \mathrm { P } ( X = k + 2 ) = \frac { 1 } { N } \times \text { (나) } \\
& \mathrm { P } ( X = k + 3 ) = \frac { 1 } { N } \times \frac { 7 ! } { 3 ! 4 ! } = \frac { 35 } { N }
\end{aligned}$$ and $$\sum _ { i = k } ^ { k + 3 } \mathrm { P } ( X = i ) = 1$$ so $N =$ (다). Therefore, the mean $\mathrm { E } ( X )$ of the random variable $X$ is as follows. $$\mathrm { E } ( X ) = \sum _ { i = k } ^ { k + 3 } \{ i \times \mathrm { P } ( X = i ) \} = \frac { 257 } { 43 }$$ When the numbers that fit (가), (나), and (다) are $a$, $b$, and $c$, respectively, what is the value of $a + b + c$?

A jump is defined as moving from a point $( x , y )$ on the coordinate plane to one of the three points $( x + 1 , y )$, $( x , y + 1 ) , ( x + 1 , y + 1 )$. Let $X$ be the random variable representing the number of jumps when randomly selecting one case from all possible ways to move from point $( 0,0 )$ to point $( 4,3 )$ by repeating jumps. The following is the process of finding the expected value $\mathrm { E } ( X )$ of the random variable $X$. (Here, each case is selected with equal probability.) Let $N$ be the total number of ways to move from point $( 0,0 )$ to point $( 4,3 )$ by repeating jumps. If the smallest value that the random variable $X$ can take is $k$, then $k =$ (a), and the largest value is $k + 3$. $$\begin{aligned}

Therefore, the expected value $\mathrm { E } ( X )$ of the random variable $X$ is as follows. $$\mathrm { E } ( X ) = \sum _ { i = k } ^ { k + 3 } \{ i \times \mathrm { P } ( X = i ) \} = \frac { 257 } { 43 }$$ When the numbers corresponding to (a), (b), (c) are $a , b , c$ respectively, what is the value of $a + b + c$?
