A compound event is when two or more events take
place at the same time. When we have a compound
event, we can use a rule to find the total number of
18 of 29

possible outcomes.

Instead of drawing a tree diagram to show all of the

possible outcomes, we can use the Fundamental
Counting Principle. To use the FCP, you just multiply
together the number of possibilities for each event.

The FCP says that the total number of outcomes is the

total number of choices for each situation or event.
