Fundamental Counting PrinciplesIf one selection can be made in m ways, and for each of these a second selection can be made in n ways, then the number of ways the two selections can be made is
If the possibilities being counted can be grouped into mutually exclusive cases, then the total number of possibilities is the sum of the number of possibilities in each case
EXAMPLE #1Step 1: How many choices for model
Step 2: How many choices for color
