Description

Use the information on page 704 to explain how you can count the maximum
number of license plates a state can issue. Explain how to use the Fundamental Counting
Principle to find the number of different license plates in a state such as Oklahoma, which has 3
letters followed by 3 numbers. Also explain how a state can increase the number of possible
plates Without increasing the length of the plate number.

JAN FLORIDA 02 Main Ideas . Suhe problems inling independent events Sohe problems imaling dependent Ps GET READY for the Lesson The number of possible license plates for a state is too great to count by listing all of the possibilities. It is much more efficient to count the number of possibilities by using the Fundamental Counting Principle. XXF 466 BROWARD New Vocabulary outcome samplece event independent events Fundamental Courting Principle dependent events Independent Events An outcome is the result of a single trial. For example, the trial of flipping a coin once has two outcomes head or tail. The set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space. An event consists of one or more outcomes of a trial. The choices of letters and digits to be put on a license plate are called independent events because each letter or digit chosen does not affect the choices for the others EXAMPLE Independent Events FOOD A sandwich cart offers customers a choice of hamburger, chicken, or fish on either a plain or a sesame seed bun. How many different combinations of meat and a bun are possible? First, note that the choice of the type of meat does not affect the choice of the type of bun, so these events are independent. Method Tree Diagram I represents hamburger, C. chicken, F, fish, P, plain, and S, sesame seed. Meat Bun S Р S P HS CS Reading Math There are both infinite and file sample spaces Tinte sample spaces have a countable number of possible outcomes such rolling a die.
