Jane wants to order a pizza and she knows what toppings she wants. She cannot decide what type of crust or sauce to choose. Make a sample space of her options if the choices are thin crust and thick crust, and she can choose from marinara sauce, pesto sauce, or alfredo sauce. How many different outcomes does she have to choose from?
A 3
B 5
C 6
D 12
E 16
To find the sample space of Jane’s options, we need to determine the combinations of crust types and sauces.
Jane has:
– 2 types of crust: thin crust and thick crust
– 3 types of sauce: marinara sauce, pesto sauce, and alfredo sauce
To find the total number of outcomes, we multiply the number of choices for crust by the number of choices for sauce:
Number of crust options x Number of sauce options = 2 x 3 = 6
So, Jane has 6 different outcomes to choose from.
The correct answer is C 6.
