You randomly choose one of the marbles. Without replacing the first marble, you choose a second marble. There are 4 marbles. One yellow, one red, one green, and one blue. Name two ways you can find the total number of possible outcomes.

The way I see it, there are 16 possible outcomes. I figured this out by there being 4 marbles and 4 different colors. I multiply 4 times 4 and get 16. You could get red and blue, blue and green, etc. It all depends on which color you grab first and which one you grab second. Yes getting green and yellow is technically the same as getting yellow and green but at one point you grabbed green first and the other you grabbed yellow first.
