Answer 1

Answer:

a) Refer to the attached diagram

b) Total possible outcomes = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A bakery sells 4 different types of bread;

1. Wheat

2. Multi-grain

3. Rye

4. Oat

Each type of bread is available in 2 styles

1. Loaf

2. Rolls

a) Complete the table to show all the possible outcomes for the types and styles of bread sold by the bakery.

Please refer to the attached diagram.

b) Find the number of possible outcomes.

The possible number of outcomes are given by

n₁ = Types of breads = 4

n₂ = Available styles = 2

So total number of possible outcomes are

Total possible outcomes = n₁*n₂

Total possible outcomes = 4*2

Total possible outcomes = 8

Therefore, there are 8 different possible outcomes.
