Question 40 • Applications and Modeling

When dealing with the occurrence of more than one event, what multiplication process can be used to easily determine all possible combinations without listing the entire sample space?

Answer
A
experiment
B
tree diagram
C
theoretical probability
D
counting principle

Explanation

The counting principle uses multiplication to find the total number of possible outcomes across multiple events. For example, if one event has 3 outcomes and another has 4, there are 3 × 4 = 12 combinations, without listing them all. Therefore, the correct choice is the counting principle.
