Question

At the cafeteria, muffins are sold in the following flavors: blueberry, orange, carrot, corn, bran and choc chip. There is a regular and low fat option for all flavors. How many combinations of muffins are possible?

Answer 1

These kind of question increase hunger. So how is one supposed to answer it? :P

Answer 2

probability

Answer 3

I think it isn't supposed to be too hard... there are 6 flavors of muffins. Each muffin flavor can be either regular or low fat. So there are 6 regular or 6 low fat, or 12 total.
6 flavors x 2 types for each flavor = 12 combinations.

Time for a snack now...

Answer 4

oops, I should have said 6 regular AND 6 low fat, not 6 reg OR 6 low fat. Answer is still 12 though

Answer 5

I think that there are 6 flavors of muffins. Each can be regular or low fat. So there are total 6 X 2 types of muffins (if you consider each option as separate one).
then selecting two out of the 12 is 12C2, which becomes 66 options possible.
I hope I am correct.

Answer 6

I didn't see anything about the C2 in the question, but I would agree that if it's a choose 2 muffins question, then choosing two out of 12 types is 12 C2. Maybe @ixyasmine was hungry and left the C2 off the question :)

Answer 7

combination of muffins. That means what I answered is just a part of it there may be more combination 3 muffins, 4 muffins.....so on. But same approach will be used.
