9-5 The Fundamental Counting Principle
Warm UpAn experiment consists of rolling a fair number cube with faces numbered 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Find each probability.
1. P(rolling an even number)
2. P(rolling a prime number)
3. P(rolling a number > 7)

The Fundamental Counting Principle tells you only the number of outcomes in some experiments, not what the outcomes are. A tree diagram is a way to show all of the possible outcomes.

Additional Example 2: Using a Tree Diagram
You have a photo that you want to mat and frame. You can choose from a blue, purple, red, or green mat and a metal or wood frame. Describe all of the ways you could frame this photo with one mat and one frame.
You can find all of the possible outcomes by making a tree diagram.
There should be 4 2 = 8 different ways to frame the photo.

Additional Example 2 Continued
Each “branch” of the tree diagram represents a different way to frame the photo. The ways shown in the branches could be written as (blue, metal), (blue, wood), (purple, metal), (purple, wood), (red, metal), (red, wood), (green, metal), and (green, wood).

Personal identification numbers (PINs) contain 2 letters followed by 4 digits. Assume that all codes are equally likely.
1. Find the number of possible PINs.
2. Find the probability that a PIN does not contain a 6.
3. For lunch a student can choose one sandwich, one bowl of soup, and one piece of fruit. The choices include grilled cheese, peanut butter, or turkey sandwich, chicken soup or clam chowder, and an apple, banana, or orange. How many different lunches are possible?
