OpenStudy (calculusxy):

@perl @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as in head, tail and etc?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or like the possibility for each outcome

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both yes?

OpenStudy (perl):

how many possible outcomes can the spinner land on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what i was gonna ask...

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

4

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Sorry for not including the spinner.

OpenStudy (perl):

you can treat them as independent events

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

So is it like: 2 x 4 x 6 = 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something like that

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

So I am correct?

OpenStudy (perl):

like the way you did the last problem , with the coin and the die

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

So it's 48 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so :P

OpenStudy (zarkon):

is your question "What are the possible outcomes" or "What is the number of possible outcomes"

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I think it's the second one.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

So I need to multiply right?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

yes

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Okay it's 48.

OpenStudy (perl):

are you saying that your question has a typo, it should say 'what are the number of possible outcomes' ?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yeah

OpenStudy (perl):

ok :)
