The possible outcomes of an event is the sample space

The product of the sample spaces of the single events determines the total number of possible outcomes of a compound event

<h3>How to determine the possible outcomes?</h3>

Assume that the number of outcomes of n single events are:

$n_1$ , $n_2$ , $n_3$ ,........ $n_n$

When these single events are combined, they form a compound event.

The number of outcomes of the compound event is the product of the number of outcomes of the single events.

i.e.

$Outcomes = n_1 * n_2 * ......... n_n$

Hence, the product of the sample spaces of the single events determines the total number of possible outcomes of a compound event
