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

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine spinner outcomes

The spinner has 3 sections, so there are 3 possible outcomes from spinning it.

Step2: Determine coin - flip outcomes

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

Step3: Determine marble - pick outcomes

There are 2 marbles, so 2 possible outcomes from picking a marble.

Step4: Use the counting principle

The total number of possible outcomes for the combined events is the product of the number of outcomes of each individual event. So we calculate (3\times2\times2). (3\times2\times2= 12)
