The Fundamental Counting Principle (Grade 12 NSC Matric Mathematics): Flashcards

Multiply outcomes of each independent event

$n(A) \times n(B)$

$n_1 \times n_2 \times n_3 \times \ldots \times n_k$

$n^r$

Events must be independent of each other

Order of events is significant

Large outcomes, multiple events, quick calculation needed

$2^3 = 8$

$6 \times 2 = 12$

Is repetition allowed or not?
