possibilities.

(red, pink and black) 2. How many skirt-
and-blouse pairs are
in her closet reserved
possible?
for such occasions.
3. Show another way of
finding the answer 1.
 Tree Diagram

Tree diagrams display all the possible

outcomes of an event. Each branch of the tree
diagram represents a possible outcome.

Tree diagrams can be used to find the

number of possible outcomes and calculate
the probability of possible outcomes.

 Fundamental Counting
Principle
Fundamental Counting Principle (FCP)
can be used determine the number of possible
outcomes when there are two or more
characteristics .
Fundamental Counting Principle states
that if an event has m possible outcomes and
another independent event has n possible
outcomes, then there are m* n possible
outcomes for the two events together.
 FCP
m – number of blouses 4
n – number of skirts 3

by fundamental counting principles

m * n = =4 *3 12 outcomes

digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
a. How many two-digit numbers can be
formed
b. How many of these are even?
c. How many of these are odd?
d. Hoe many of these are divisible by 3?
e. How many of these are less than 40?
 Count Me In!
Answer the following questions.
1. Ten runners join a race. In how many
possible ways can they be arranged as
first, second and third placers?
2. If Jun has 12 T-shirts, 6 pairs of pants,
and 3 pairs of shoes, how many
possibilities can he dress himself up for
the day?
3. In how many ways can Aling Rosing
arrange 6 potted plants in a row?
4. How many four-digit number can be
formed from the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 8,
and 9 if repetition of digit is not allowed?
5. If there are three roads from Town A to
Town B and 4 roads from Town B to
Town C, in how many ways can one go
from Town A to Town C and back to
Town A, through Town B, without
passing through the same road twice
