Zorluk: KolayBasic Probability and Counting Methods

A juice bar allows customers to create a custom smoothie by selecting exactly 11 fruit base out of 44 available options and 11 liquid base out of 33 available options. How many different custom smoothie combinations of 11 fruit base and 11 liquid base are possible?

Cevap: 12 combinations

Cevap

The total number of possible smoothie combinations is 12.
According to the Fundamental Counting Principle, if there are mm ways to make a first choice and nn ways to make a second choice, there are m×nm \times n total possible pairs. Here, multiplying 44 fruit choices by 33 liquid choices yields 4×3=124 \times 3 = 12 total smoothie combinations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the number of options for each independent choice
Fruit base options = 4; Liquid base options = 3
Each choice is independent of the other.
2
Multiply the number of options for each choice using the Fundamental Counting Principle
4 x 3 = 12
To find the total number of combinations across multiple independent categories, multiply the number of choices in each category together.
