- a What does the Fundamental Counting Principle say? b Suppose that there are three roads from town A to town B and five roads from town B to town C. How many routes are there from A to C via B?arrow_forwardThe Fundamental Counting Principle says that if one event can occur in m ways and a second event can in n ways, then the two events can occur in order in _______ X____ways. So if you have two choices for shoes and three choices for hats, then the number of different shoe-hat combinations you can wear is _______X______=_______.arrow_forwardTrue or False? In counting combinations, order matters. In counting permutations, order matters. For a set of n distinct object, the number of different combinations of these object is more than the number of different permutations. If we have a set with five distinct objects, then the number of different ways of choosing two members of this set is the same as the number of ways of choosing three members.arrow_forward
