Question

o perform a certain type of blood analysis, lab technicians must perform two procedures. The first procedure requires either one, two, or three steps. The second procedure requires either one or two steps. Answer the first and second questions using this information.List the experimental outcomes associated with performing the blood analysis. (Hint: The first procedure has three possible outcomes (steps needed), the second procedure has two possible outcomes (steps needed)).(1), (2), (3), (1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,2), (1,3), (2,3), (3,3)(1), (2), (3), (1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,2)(1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,2), (1,3), (2,3), (3,3)(1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Procedures = 2$

$1 \to$ Step 1

$2 \to$ Step 2

$3 \to$ Step 3

Required

List all possible experimental outcomes

From the question, we understand that:

$Procedure\ 1 = 3\ steps$

$Procedure\ 2 = 2\ steps$

So, the total possible steps (n) are:

$n=Procedure\ 1 * Procedure\ 2$

$n = 3 * 2$

$n = 6\ steps$

Such that the 2nd steps cannot take the value of 3.

So, the outcomes are: 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23
