When rolling a die, picking a marble, and flipping a coin, the total number of outcomes can be calculated by multiplying the number of outcomes for each event:
1. Rolling a die: A standard die has 6 sides, so there are 6 possible outcomes when rolling the die.
2. Picking a marble: If there are, for example, 4 different colored marbles in a bag, there would be 4 possible outcomes when picking a marble.
3. Flipping a coin: Flipping a coin has 2 possible outcomes – heads or tails.
To find the total number of outcomes for all three events, multiply the number of outcomes for each event together:
6 (die outcomes) x 4 (marble outcomes) x 2 (coin outcomes) = 48 possible outcomes in total.
