Hi I need help on how many outcomes are possible for these? For breakfast choices possibilities. I tried, but I feel like I am not getting it.

Coffee (c)
orange Juice (o)

scarmabled (s)
hard boiled (h)
poached (p)

bagel (b)
toast (t)

Please help??

Assuming one must make a single choice in each group, so it is a three-step experiment.

choices for group 1 = 2
choices for group 2 = 3
choices for group 3 = 2
Total number of outcomes in the sample space is therefore the product of the choices in each group (step).

Ok thanks I think I understand.

You're welcome!

Sure, I can help you!

To find the total number of possible outcomes for breakfast choices, you need to multiply the number of choices for each category together. In this case, we have three categories: drink (coffee or orange juice), eggs (scrambled, hard-boiled, or poached), and bread (bagel or toast).

First, let's count the number of choices for each category:
- For drinks, we have 2 options: coffee (c) or orange juice (o).
- For eggs, we have 3 options: scrambled (s), hard-boiled (h), or poached (p).
- For bread, we have 2 options: bagel (b) or toast (t).

To find the total number of possibilities, you multiply the number of choices in each category together: 2 x 3 x 2 = 12.

So, there are a total of 12 possible outcomes for these breakfast choices.
