Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An event M has m possible outcomes and event N has n possible outcomes. The total number of outcomes of event M followed by event N is .
A
outcomes
B
Fundamental Counting Principle
C
independent events
D
experimental probability
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if you wish to find the number of outcomes for a given situation, simply multiply the number of outcomes for each individual event.

Detailed explanation-2: -While there are five basic counting principles: addition, multiplication, subtraction, cardinality (principle of inclusion-exclusion), and division.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theorem: The Fundamental Counting Principle for Two Events If we have two independent events and such that the number of possible outcomes for event is and the number of possible outcomes for event is , the total number of distinct possible outcomes of these two events together is the product × .

Detailed explanation-4: -This video uses manipulatives to review the five counting principles including stable order, correspondence, cardinality, abstraction, and order irrelevance.
