Carey, the music reporter for her high school newspaper, is writing an article about this year's school musical. Carey wants to interview one male and one female cast member, and there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the musical this year. Carey also wants to interview one of the 2 students working backstage on the tech crew. Therefore, there can be 24 different sets of people that Carey can interview.
