You pick a card, flip a coin, and spin the spinner. How many outcomes are possible?
1 Answer
Verified archiveTo find the total number of outcomes, we multiply the number of outcomes from each action together.
1. Picking a card: If we assume a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards.
2. Flipping a coin: There are 2 outcomes (heads or tails).
3. Spinning a spinner: If we don’t know how many sections the spinner has but assume it’s divided into 4 equal parts (for example), then there are 4 outcomes.
So, the total number of outcomes would be:
Total Outcomes = (Number of Cards) × (Outcomes from Coin) × (Outcomes from Spinner)
= 52 × 2 × 4 = 416 outcomes.
However, if we are not given any specifics about the number of cards or divisions on the spinner, we cannot determine the exact number from the options given.
If we just consider the multiplier without specific values:
Assuming a scenario with 3 outcomes from card (3), 2 from the coin (2), and 2 from the spinner (for 1 and 2), then:
Total Outcomes = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12.
The closest answer then would be C. 12.
