While selecting candy for students In hls class, Professor Murphy must choose between gummy candy andlicorice nibs. Gummy candy packets come In four sizes, while packets of licorice nibs come In three. If hechooses gummy candy, he must select gummy bears, gummy worms, or gummy dinos. If he chooses licorlcenibs, he must choose between red and black. How many cholces does he have? HINT [See Example 2.]Step 1Professor Murphy must first choose between gummy candy and licorice nibs. Below we outline a definiteprocedure that he can use to decide whlch candy packets to choose.Alternative 1: Gummy CandyStep 1: pick a size (they come in 4 sizes)Step 2: pick a shape (bears, worms, dinos)Alternative 2: Licorice nibsStep 1: pick a size (they come in 3 sizes)Step 2: pick a color (red and black)That is, he can choose between alternative 1 and alternative 2. If he chooses alternative 1 he has a sequenceof two choices to make: size and shape. If he chooses alternative 2 he has a sequence of two choices tomake: size and color.Recall the multiplication principle, which states that when making a sequence of choices with r steps, supposethat step 1 has n, possible outcomes, step 2 has n, possible outcomes, . .., step r has n, possible outcomesand that each sequence of choices results in a distinct outcome, then there are a total of n, x n x ...Xn,possible outcomes.We will first consider alternative 1. Step 1 is to pick a size, for which there are 4 options. Step 2 is to pick ashape, for which there areoptions. Therefore, by the multiplication principle, there arepossible choices for alternative 1.Now we consider alternative 2. Step 1 is to pick a size, for which there are 3 options. Step 2 is to pick a color,for which there areoptions. Therefore, by the multiplication principle, there arepossible choices for alternative 2.
