Lesson Worksheet: Counting Outcomes Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice determining and counting the possible outcomes using tables and tree diagrams to find the probability of a specific event.
Q1:
A pizza parlor offers customizable pizzas. Customers can choose one of two options for the base, cheese, and sauce and then add an optional topping.
| Base | Cheese | Sauce | Topping (at Most One) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thin crust or deep pan | Cheddar or mozzarella | Tomato or barbecue | Pepperoni, pineapple, or mushroom |
Using tree diagrams, or otherwise, represent all the possible pizza combinations and determine how many different pizzas there are.
Q2:
A coin is flipped three consecutive times. Which of the following represents the event of getting a head on the first flip?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q3:
Khalid is going to spin both of these spinners and record the two letters that appear.
Which of the following tree diagrams shows the sample space of the letter pairs?
- A
- B
- C
- D
How many possible outcomes are there?

Q7:
Abeer has drawn a tree diagram to represent the sample space of tossing two coins.
By extending the tree diagram or otherwise, find the number of outcomes in the sample space of the experiment of tossing two coins and spinning two spinners: one with 10 equal sections labeled 1 to 10 and one with 12 equal sections labeled 1 to 12.
Q8:
Upon rolling a die and flipping a coin once, is the event of getting tails and an even number, is the event of getting heads and an odd number, and is the event of the nonoccurence of or the nonoccurence of . Determine the outcomes in the event .
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q9:

- A
- B
- C
- D
Q10:
