~ pi_is_3.14
Solution (Complementary Counting)
Since we are asked for the number of positive 4-digit integers with at least 2 or 3 in it, we can find this by finding the total number of 4-digit integers and subtracting off those which do not have any 2s or 3s as digits.
The total number of 4-digit integers is 
, since we have 10 choices for each digit except the first (which can't be 0).
Similarly, the total number of 4-digit integers without any 2 or 3 is 
.
Therefore, the total number of positive 4-digit integers that have at least one 2 or 3 in their decimal representation is
