Now were done arranging the
letters of a word to produce a
new word, next we are going
to arrange and identify how
many possible ways we can
make based on the given
situation.
Situation 1
1. If you are going on a friendly date this
Valentine’s Day with your crush and you
have three new pairs of pants and three
new tops in your cabinet. In how many ways
can you dress? Make a tree diagram to
show all the choices you can make.
Situation 1
Recalling our lessons in the previous grades, we
simply match the three pants to the tops one by
one and counting the results will give the desired
number. We can use the tree diagram so that we
can visualize the results.
From the illustration, we can see that there are
nine different ways of matching the pants and the
tops. Thus, there are nine resulting outfits one can
make out of the three different pants and three
different tops.
Situation 2
You go to a restaurant to buy some
breakfast. The menu says, for food:
pancakes, waffles, or home fries; and for
drinks coffee, juice, hot chocolate, and
tea. How many different choices of food
and drink do you have? Illustrate the

Tree Diagrams and The Fundamental
Counting Principle are two different
algorithms for finding sample space of
a probability problem.
Solution:
