TREE DIAGRAM
 Issimply a way of representing a sequence of
events. It uses branches to organize information
from the start to the end of a single trial of an
experiment.

SYSTEMATIC LISTING
Outcomes for an event can be
listed in an organized or
systematic way to make sure that
none of the possible outcomes are
missed out.
Example:
Suppose a shopping mall has four doors. In how many
ways can a customer enter and leave the shopping
mall? List all the possible ways of entering and
leaving the mall by using systematic listing.
A B C D
ENTER AND LEAVE THE SHOPPING MALL
ENTER DOORS = {A, B, C, D} EXIT DOORS = {A, B, C, D}

FUNDAMENTAL COUNTING PRINCIPLE
 Is a rule used to count the total number of
possible outcomes in a situation.
 It states that, if there n ways of doing
something, and m ways of doing another
thing after that, them there are n x m ways
to perform both of these actions, in other
words there are n x m different ways to
do both actions.
Example:
Suppose a shopping mall has four doors. In how many
ways can a customer enter and leave the shopping mall?
List all the possible ways of entering and leaving the
mall by using fundamental counting principle.
A B C D
ENTER AND LEAVE THE SHOPPING MALL

4 x 4 = 16
Let’s Try!
Yuri’s Café serves two desserts: a cake and a pie.
They also serve three beverages: coffee, tea, and
juice. Suppose you choose one dessert and one
beverage, how many possible outcomes are there?

Progress Check!
Identify the number of outcomes in each experiment.
1. Kim loves ice cream. She has the option of VANILLA,
CHOCOLATE, or STRAWBERRY ice cream and she has
different toppings to put on her ice cream cone. If she has
SPRINKLES, HOT FUDGE, MARSHMALLOWS, and NUTS to
choose from, how many different ice cream cones can she create
with those toppings? Use TABLE to count the total number of
outcomes.
2. A new restaurant has opened and they offer lunch combos for 25
pesos. With the combo meat, you get 1 sandwich and 1 drink. If
the choices are: EGG, CHICKEN, or HOTDOG sandwich; and
JUICE or SODA, how many lunch combos of sandwich and
drink can you avail in this offer> use TREE DIAGRAM to count

3. Cardo want to buy a monitor (M) and a CPU (©) to complete his
computer showcase from a grand prize in a raffle draw. He can
choose from FIVE monitors and one from THREE CPUs. Determine
the number of possible sets that Cardo can choose from. Use
SYSTEMATIC LISTING to count the total number of outcomes.
4. Mr. Cruz loves to read books. He has FOUR books of Lord of the
Rings (L) and SEVEN books of Harry Potter (H). He can finish two
books in a day. How many possible outcomes can he read one Lord
of the Rings book and one Harry Potter book in a day? Use
FUNDMENTAL COUNTING PRINCIPLE to count the total
number of outcomes.
