When 11ebff50_c883_a85c_8da6_63b7b7b44baf_TBX8714_11 = 1, the p-type sublevel has two electrons with opposite spin, which allows for three possible orientations: one electron spin up, one electron spin down; both electrons spin up; both electrons spin down. 
For the second part of the question, 11ebff50_c883_a85d_8da6_e5a02c11794f_TBX8714_11 can have 2^(11) possible values, since there are 11 total bits and each bit can be either 0 or 1.
