Complete 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: The total number of experimental outcomes is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
An experiment can be defined as any process that can result in one of several well defined outcomes that cannot be predicted certainly beforehand. From the above question, the experiment is a multiple step experiment which consists of three(N) steps with n1,n2,n3 experimental outcomes. The number of total experimental outcomes is equal to the product of the number of results in each step. Therefore N = n1×n2×n3
where n1=4,n2= 3, n3=2
N= 4×3×2
N=24
Therefore the total number of experimental outcomes is 24.
