Benchmark Focus A compound event is when two or more events
take place at the same time. When we have a
compound event, we can use a rule to find the
total number of possible outcomes.

Instead of drawing a tree diagram to show all of

Fundamental Counting Principle. To use the FCP,
you just multiply together the number of
possibilities for each event.

The FCP says that the total number of outcomes

is the total number of choices for each situation
or event.
