Calculate number of possible outcomes for vanilla or chocolate ice-cream and strawberry, chocolate or caramel topping.
Answer to Problem 30SGR
There are 6 possible choices for selecting ice-cream and ice-cream topping.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A consists of vanilla or chocolate ice-cream.
B consists of strawberry, chocolate or caramel topping.
Calculations:
Here, we have to calculate possibility of outcome among A and B.
According to multiplication rule, probability of A and B is calculated by
Thus,
Number of choices for A is 2and number of choices for B is 3 Therefore, probability of outcome is,
Thus, there are 6 different outcomes for choosing ice cream and ice-cream topping.
Conclusion:
Therefore, we are able to calculate probability of possible outcomes from given data.
