Review (Short Discussion)

The Fundamental Counting Principle states:


If one event can happen in m ways and another independent event can happen in n ways, then the two events together
can happen in m × n ways. If there are more events, simply multiply all the number of possible choices.

Part A: Guided Example (Whole Class)


Scenario 1: Ice Cream Choices
A student can choose:
 3 flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry)
 2 types of cones (Cup or Cone)
How many different ice cream combinations are possible?
Solution:
3 × 2 = 6 possible combinations

Part B: Group Activity


Divide the class into small groups. Solve the following:

Situation 1: School Outfit Choices


A student has:
 4 shirts
 3 pairs of pants
 2 pairs of shoes
How many different outfits can the student wear?

Situation 2: Lunch Combo


In a school canteen, students can choose:
 2 rice meals
 4 viands
 3 drinks
How many different lunch combinations are possible?

Situation 3: Locker Code


A locker requires:
 2 letters (each can be chosen from 5 possible letters)
 1 digit (0–9)
How many possible locker codes are there?

Situation 4: Dice and Coin


An experiment consists of:
 Rolling a die
 Tossing a coin
How many possible outcomes are there?

Part C: Challenge Problem (Individual Work)


A school ID number consists of:
 3 letters (each chosen from 6 possible letters)
 2 digits (0–9)
How many different ID numbers can be formed?
