  13. Finding How Many Total Outcomes If you have four shirts, six pairs of pants and eight pairs of socks. How many different outfits can you wear? Multiply each number of choices to find out the total number of outcomes Also known as: Counting Principle

  14. You are offered ice cream with your choice of waffle or sugar cone, an ice cream flavor of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, and one of two toppings: chocolate chips or sprinkles.

  15. 1. Make a tree diagram to list the ice cream possibilities. 2. How many different ice creams (total outcomes) are possible? 3. List your possibilities. Make sure your list of possibilities has the same amount as the total number of outcomes.

  16. 4. What is the probability that your ice cream is with a topping of chocolate chips on a waffle cone? Write your answer as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent.
