Do Now How many different three-digit whole numbers can you write, using each of the digits 1-3 once? What are those numbers? Here are the first two done for you… 123, 132
Possible Outcomes For some problems you may need to know all the possible outcomes. Using a systematic approach you list all of the possibilities
Possible Outcomes Janet is planning her class schedule. What are the possible schedules that Janet can plan for her first two classes?

Sometimes you do not need to know the specific outcomes. If you only need to know the number of possible outcomes, you can use the fundamental counting principle. If an experiment or problem has two steps with m different ways to do the first step and n different ways to do the second step, the total number of possible outcomes for both steps is m x n . Janet has 3 languages choice (m ways to choose) and 2 art choices (n ways to choose). Total number of possible schedules = m x n = 3 x 2 = 6
Lets try one on your own… Use the fundamental counting principle to solve this problem. In a fashion show, one model has to wear 3 dresses, 3 different colors and 4 different sizes. How many outcomes
