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):

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?

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 :)
