Lesson Worksheet: Fundamental Counting Principle Mathematics • 12th Grade
In this worksheet, we will practice finding the number of all possible outcomes in a sample space using the fundamental counting principle.
Q3:
Michel, Kayla, and ChiWei are playing a game, where one of them needs to be a sheriff and one needs to be an outlaw. They write each of their names on a piece of paper and place them in a bowl. If two names are picked at random where the first will be a sheriff and the second will be an outlaw how many different ways are there?
Q6:
A restaurant serves 2 types of pie, 4 types of salad, and 3 types of drink. How many different meals can the restaurant offer if a meal includes one pie, one salad, and one drink?
Q9:
Use the fundamental counting principle to determine the total number of outcomes of choosing (with the possibility of repetition) a password that begins with three letters followed by three numbers from 1 to 7. Assume the password can only contain lower case letters.
