Students are expected to:
Factor Fundamental Principle of Counting
MATH1 polynomials
0 The Fundamental Principle of Counting states that if an event A has m possible outcomes, a
second event B has n possible outcomes the two events do not affect each other, then are
mn possible outcomes for the two events A and B.

Example: An ice cream parlor offers 10 flavors of ice cream and 3 types of cones. How
many single scoop combinations of ice cream and cone can a customer choose from? Word
COMPETENT an

Solution:
Let m be the number of flavors of ice cream, and n be the number of types of available
cones. Since the type of cone is independent of the ice cream flavor, it follows that there are
mn = 10.3 = 30 possible combinations for a single-scoop order.

Example 2: A fair coin is tossed and a fair six-sided die is rolled. Find the number of
VALUE outcomes for the two events.
FOCUS
: Solution:
The coin toss has m = 2 possible outcomes, while the die roll has n =6 possible outcomes.
Together, these two events have mn = 12 possible outcomes, which are illustrated by the
tree diagram below.
