The Fundamental Counting Principle - If event M can occur in m ways and is followed by event N that can occur in n ways, then the event M followed by the event N can occur in m∙n ways. Ex. If a number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed, there are 6∙2 or 12 possible outcomes.

The Fundamental Counting Principle

- If event M can occur in m ways and is followed by event N that can occur in n ways, then the event M followed by the event N can occur in m∙n ways. Ex. If a number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed, there are 6∙2 or 12 possible outcomes.
