Question

use multiplication to find the number of possible outcomes for a choice of black,brown, blue or white pants with a choice of a white , blue or ed shirt?

Answer 1

Concerning the dime, I assume you mean heads/tails. You have a 1/2 chance of tossing a head, on each throw. For successive heads, you have a 1/(2^n) chance, where n is the number of successive tosses.

Concerning the "dice", "a" would mean one of them, "dice" is plural, so I'll deal with one of them. You have a 1/6 chance of rolling any one of the six sides. For successive rolls of that same side, you have a 1/(6^n) chance where n is the number of successive rolls.

Concerning your pants and shirts pairings, you have 3 pairs of pants and for each of them you have 3 shirts, so you have 3*3 or 9 possible pairings.

Answer 2

6x2=12 for the coin and dice problem, 4 choices x 3 choices=12 outcomes for the pants and shirt problem.

Answer 3

1.2*6=12
2.4*3=12
