The fundamental counting principle
Tells you the probability of an event.
Tells you how many different possible outcomes there are.
Helps you convert a fraction into a percent.
Shows you the outcomes that don't appear in a tree diagram.
If I use the fundamental counting principle, how many different outcomes are there if I flip 4 different 2-sided coins?
8, because 4 x 2 = 8
6, because 4 + 2 = 6
16, because 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
256, because 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256
Using the fundamental counting principle, how many different outcomes could you have if you rolled 4 different six-sided dice?
1,296, because 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 1,296
24, because 6 x 4 = 24
36, because it 6 x 6 = 36
360, because 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 360
Use the fundamental counting principle to find the total number of outcomes (or outfits) if you have a suitcase with 5 different shirts, 3 types of jackets, 2 different pants, and 3 types of shoes.
13, because 5 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 13
120, because 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 =120
90, because 5 x 3 x 2 x 3 = 90
52, because (5 + 3 + 2 + 3) x 4 = 52
Use the fundamental counting principle to find the total number of possible outcomes for my smartphone lock screen if I have to use 4 different numbers from 0-9, and I can reuse numbers. (For instance, I could use "1111")
6,561, because 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 6,561
5,040, because 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5,040
10,000, because 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000
1111, because that's the number in the problem.
