Question

What is the total number of outcomes when choosing water, milk, juice,

or tea; with or without ice: served in a glass or plastic cup? *

Answer 1

The total possible outcomes of a serving would be 16.

Explanation:

Given that,

The total number of beverages = b = 4 ( water, milk, juice,

or tea)

Ice options = i = 2 (with or without ice)

Serving options = s = 2 (glass or plastic cup)

We have to find the total possible outcome x, that can be calculated using

x = b x i x s

Putting the values in the equation, we get

x = 4 x 2 x 2

x = 16

Hence, the total possible outcomes of a serving would be 16.
