Question

For a role-playing game, Nikia randomly selects a team card and a character card. The teams are air, fire, land, and water. The characters are healer, spy, and thief. Nikia's favorite team is air and her favorite character is spy. How many outcomes are there? (Hint-Use a tree diagram, table, or list)

Answer 1

To determine the number of outcomes for Nikia's random selection of a team card and a character card for a role-playing game, we can use a tree diagram, table, or list.

There are four possible teams: air, fire, land, and water. Once a team card is selected, there are three possible character cards: healer, spy, and thief. Therefore, the total number of outcomes is the product of the number of options for each selection, which is:

4 (number of team options) x 3 (number of character options) = 12

So there are 12 possible outcomes for Nikia's random selection of a team card and a character card. However, since Nikia has specified that her favorite team is air and her favorite character is spy, the number of outcomes that would satisfy her preferences is:

1 (air team) x 1 (spy character) = 1

Therefore, only one outcome would satisfy Nikia's preferences.
