License plates are being produced that have a single letter followed by three digits. All license plates are equally likely. Additional Example 1A: Using the Fundamental Counting Principle Find the number of possible license plates. Use the Fundamental Counting Principal. letterfirst digit second digit third digit 26 choices10 choices = 26,000 The number of possible 1-letter, 3-digit license plates is 26,000. Course Counting Principles

Additional Example 1B: Using the Fundamental Counting Principal Find the probability that a license plate has the letter Q ,000 = 1 26  P(Q ) = Course Counting Principles

Additional Example 1C: Using the Fundamental Counting Principle Find the probability that a license plate does not contain a 3. First use the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the number of license plates that do not contain a = 18,954 possible license plates without a 3 There are 9 choices for any digit except 3. P(no 3) = = ,000 18,954 Course Counting Principles

Social Security numbers contain 9 digits. All social security numbers are equally likely. Check It Out: Example 1A Find the number of possible Social Security numbers. Use the Fundamental Counting Principle. Digit Choices = 1,000,000,000 The number of Social Security numbers is 1,000,000,000. Course Counting Principles

Check It Out: Example 1B Find the probability that the Social Security number contains a 7. P(7 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) = ,000,000,000 = = Course Counting Principles

Check It Out: Example 1C Find the probability that a Social Security number does not contain a 7. First use the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the number of Social Security numbers that do not contain a 7. P(no 7 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) = ,000,000,000 P(no 7) = ≈ 0.4 1,000,000, ,420,489 Course Counting Principles

The Fundamental Counting Principle tells you only the number of outcomes in some experiments, not what the outcomes are. A tree diagram is a way to show all of the possible outcomes. Course Counting Principles

Additional Example 2: Using a Tree Diagram You have a photo that you want to mat and frame. You can choose from a blue, purple, red, or green mat and a metal or wood frame. Describe all of the ways you could frame this photo with one mat and one frame. You can find all of the possible outcomes by making a tree diagram. There should be 4 2 = 8 different ways to frame the photo. Course Counting Principles

Additional Example 2 Continued Each “branch” of the tree diagram represents a different way to frame the photo. The ways shown in the branches could be written as (blue, metal), (blue, wood), (purple, metal), (purple, wood), (red, metal), (red, wood), (green, metal), and (green, wood). Course Counting Principles

Check It Out: Example 2 A baker can make yellow or white cakes with a choice of chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla icing. Describe all of the possible combinations of cakes. You can find all of the possible outcomes by making a tree diagram. There should be 2 3 = 6 different cakes available. Course Counting Principles

Check It Out: Example 2 Continued The different cake possibilities are (yellow, chocolate), (yellow, strawberry), (yellow, vanilla), (white, chocolate), (white, strawberry), and (white, vanilla). white cake yellow cake chocolate icing vanilla icing strawberry icing chocolate icing vanilla icing strawberry icing Course Counting Principles

Additional Example 3: Using the Addition Counting Principle The table shows the items available at a farm stand. How many items can you choose from the farm stand? None of the lists contains identical items, so use the Addition Counting Principle.
