3. Tyler decides which type of pizza to order. The choices for crust are thin crust or regular crust. The choices for one topping are pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, sausage, or green peppers. Tyler has trouble deciding because there are so many possibilities. He selects the type of crust and one topping at random. How many outcomes are in the sample space?

Answer 1

10 outcomes

Explanation:

To solve the question above, we use the fundamental counting principle

Event A = Type of crust = 2 types

The choices for crust are thin crust or regular crust.

Event B = Types of topping = 5 toppings

The choices for one topping are pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, sausage, or green peppers.

According to fundamental counting principles, the number of possible outcomes that are in the sample space is : Event A × Event B

= 2 × 5 = 10 outcomes
