Transcript text: How many possible outcomes? A person can choose one basket, one coffee and one treat. How many combinations can be made?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the number of choices for each category
From the table, we can see:
Basket: There are 2 choices (Wicker, Plastic).
Coffee: There are 2 choices (Black, French Vanilla).
Treat: There are 2 choices (Cookie, Muffin).
Step 2: Calculate the total number of combinations
To find the total number of possible combinations, multiply the number of choices for each category:
\[
\text{Total combinations} = \text{Basket choices} \times \text{Coffee choices} \times \text{Treat choices}
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8
\]
