Fundamental Counting Principle Calculator
The Fundamental Counting Principle is a rule used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a situation. It states that if there are \(n_1\) ways for a first event to occur, \(n_2\) ways for a second event to occur, and so on, then the total number of ways for the sequence of events to occur is the product of the number of ways for each event.
The Formula:
\( \text{Total Outcomes} = n_1 \times n_2 \times n_3 \times \dots \times n_k \)
For example, if you have 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants, the total number of outfits you can create is \(3 \times 2 = 6\).
