DEFINITIONS

Product rule If one event can occur in m ways AND a second event can occur in
n ways, the number of ways the two events can occur in sequence is then m ⋅ n.

Sum rule If an event can occur either in m ways OR in n ways (non-overlapping),

the number of ways the event can occur is then m + n.

Subtraction rule If an event can occur either in m ways OR in n ways

(overlapping), the number of ways the event can occur is then m + n decreased by

the number of ways that the event can occur commonly to the two different ways.

Step 2 2 of 3

SOLUTION

From New York to Denver=6

From Denver to San Francisco=7

We need to use the product rule, because the first event is picking a flight from
New York to Denver and the second event is picking a flight from Denver to San

Francisco.

6 ⋅ 7 = 42

Result 3 of 3

42 trips
