III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES Let us learn!

Fundamental Counting Principle (Tree diagram and Listing method)

Fundamental Counting Principle

The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if you wish to find the number of
outcomes for a given situation, simply multiply the number of outcomes for each
individual event.

If you have ways of doing event 1, b ways of doing event 2, and c ways of event 3, then you
can find the total number of outcomes by multiplying:

axbxc

Example 1

The Bagel Factory offers 12 different kinds of bagels and 4 types of cream cheese.
How many possible combinations of bagels and cream cheese are there?

Solution:

12 kinds of bagels • 4 types of cream cheese = total outcomes

12 • 4 = 48

There are 48 different combinations of bagels and cream cheese.

Tree Diagram

Example 2

A new restaurant has opened and they offer lunch combos for Php75.00. With the
combo meal you get 1 sandwich, 1 side and 1 drink. The choices are below.

Sandwiches: Chicken Salad, Turkey, Grilled Cheese

Sides: Chips, French Fries, Fruit Cup

Drinks: Soda, Water

 5

Solution:

Draw a tree diagram to find the total number of possible outcomes.

Listing Method
Example 1

Plato is going to choose a three-course meal at his favorite restaurant. He must choose
one item from each of the following three categories.

First course: Tofu Soup (TS); Seaweed Salad (SS)

Second course: Steamed Tofu (ST); Baked Tofu (BT); Fried Tofu (FT);
Third course: Tofu Cake (TC); Tofu Pie (TP); Seaweed Delight (SD)

How many different three-course meals are possible?

Solution:

1. TS-ST-TC 2. TS-ST-TP 3. TS-ST-SD

4. TS-BT-TC 5. TS-BT-TP 6. TS-BT-SD
7. TS-FT-TC 8. TS-FT-TP 9. TS-FT-SD
10. SS-ST-TC 11. SS-ST-TP 12. SS-ST-SD
13. SS-BT-TC 14. SS-BT-TP 15. SS-BT-SD
16. SS-FT-TC 17. SS-FT-TP 18. SS-FT-SD
We see that there are 18 different three-course meals.
 6

The fundamental counting principle enables us to find the total number of distinct outcomes of
multiple independent events by finding the product of their individual possible outcomes.

We can only apply the fundamental counting principle to independent events. If the outcome of
one event changes the outcome of subsequent events, we must consider this effect when
seeking to find the total number of possible outcomes.

The Derivation of the Formula

To recap, 𝑷(𝒏, 𝒓 ), the number of ways to form a permutation of 𝒓 elements from a total
of 𝒏 is determined by:

1. Forming a combination of 𝒓 elements out of a total of 𝒏 in any one of 𝑪(𝒏, 𝒓 ) ways

2. Ordering these 𝒓 elements any one of 𝒓! ways.

By the multiplication principle, the number of ways to form a permutation is 𝑷(𝒏, 𝒓 ) =

𝑪(𝒏, 𝒓 ) x 𝒓!.

Using the formula for permutations 𝑷(𝒏, 𝒓 ) = 𝒏!/(𝒏 − 𝒓)!, that can be substituted into the
above formula:

𝒏!/(𝒏 − 𝒓)! = 𝑪(𝒏, 𝒓 ) 𝒓!

Now solve this, the number of combinations, 𝑪(𝒏, 𝒓 ), and see that 𝑪(𝒏, 𝒓 ) = 𝒏!/[𝒓! (𝒏 −
𝒓)!].

As demonstrated, a little bit of thought and algebra can go a long way. Other formulas in
probability and statistics can also be derived with some careful applications of definitions.

Let’s Try This!

I. Solve the given FCP using tree diagram and listing method.

1. A pair of dice is rolled once. What are the outcomes? How many possible outcomes
are there?

2. The Bagel Factory offers 2 different kinds of bagels and 4 types of cream cheese.
How many possible combinations of bagels and cream cheese are there?
