The number of experimental outcomes for the given blood analysis experiment is eight (8).
<h3>What is an experimental outcome?</h3>
Experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
After the experiment, the result of the random experiment is known. An outcome is a result of a random experiment.
For the given experiment,
Procedure 1 [n(P1)] can be done one or two steps.
Procedure 2 [n(P2)] can be done in one, two, three or four steps.
So the total number of outcomes (N) in this experiment is;
n(P1)= 2 and n(P2)= 4
N= n(P1) *n(P2)
N= 2*4= 8
The total number of experimental outcomes can also be calculated as (x,y) where ‘x’ is a number of steps of Procedure 1 and ‘y’ is a number of steps of Procedure 2.
Suppose (x,y)= (1,1) means one step is performed of Procedure 1 and one for Procedure 2.
Therefore, (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4) i.e. 8 are the possible outcomes.
