Question

The Fundamental Counting Principle is the basis for the formulas on the number of permutations and combinations. Suppose you have three tasks: Task A can be accomplished in 3 ways, Task B in 4 ways and Task C in 5 ways. In how many ways can these three tasks be performed together?

Answer 1

The Fundamental Counting Principle: If there are x ways for one activity to occur, and y ways for a second activity to occur, then there are x • y ways for both to occur.
