you pick a card, flip a coin, and spin the spinner. how many outcomes are possible?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine card - pick outcomes

There are 2 cards (X and Y), so 2 possible outcomes.

Step2: Determine coin - flip outcomes

A coin flip has 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails).

Step3: Determine spinner - spin outcomes

The spinner has 5 sections (X, W, V, T, U), so 5 possible outcomes.

Step4: Use the multiplication principle

The total number of outcomes for all three events is the product of the number of outcomes of each event. So, $2\times2\times5$. $2\times2\times5 = 20$
