outcomes = choices x choices x choices x .....

in this case 2 x 1 = 2.

in small cases, you can make a list: here ordered pairs where the 1st number is the outcome for event 1, the 2nd number is the outcome for event 2:

(1,1)
(2,1)

and that's it. Trivial. Try counting the number of ways (that pay off) you can improve on a low pair by drawing 3 cards in poker. Better if you have an organized way to multiply (and add).
