Question

An experiment consists of three steps. There are four possible results on the first step, three possible results on the second step, and two possible results on the third step. The total number of experimental outcomes is

Answer 1

24 steps

Explanation:

Given

`Step\ 1 = 4`

`Step\ 2 = 3`

`Step\ 3 = 2`

Required

The total number of experimental outcomes (n)

This calculated by multiplying the results in each step.

`n = Step\ 1 * Step\ 2 * Step\ 3`

`n = 4*3*2`

`n = 24`
