If you are selecting courses for next semester and you have 4 options to fill your science requirement, 2 options to fill your d
iversity requirement, 5 options to fill your English requirement and 4 options to fill your math requirement, use the fundamental counting principal or slot diagram to find out how many possible outcomes do you have for schedules.
Given : The options to fill science requirement =4
The options to fill diversity requirement =2
The options to fill English requirement =5
The options to fill math requirement = 4
The Fundamental Counting Principle say that the number of total outcomes is equal to the product of the number of ways of all the events occur in the problem.
Using Fundamental Counting Principle, we have the total number of possible outcomes for the given situation :-
Hence, the total number of possible outcomes = 160
