In an experiment, 3 coins are tossed and then 2 dice are rolled. How many total outcomes are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: outcomes

The governing concept is the fundamental principle of counting for successive independent experiments. Each coin has two possible results, so three distinguishable coin tosses produce 2 × 2 × 2 = 2^3 = 8 outcomes. Each die has six possible faces, so two distinguishable dice produce 6 × 6 = 6^2 = 36 ordered outcomes. Since the coin results and die results occur together, multiply the two counts: 2^3 × 6^2 = 8 × 36 = 288. Thus option C is correct. The order of the dice outcomes matters in the usual outcome space, although the product count gives the same total. Option A, B, or D results from an incorrect multiplication or from using the wrong number of outcomes for coins or dice.
