Chapter 13.2, Problem 33SPR

To determine

To find: the number of different coats that is selected from given coats.

Answer to Problem 33SPR

There is $16$ different coat.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A women’s coat come in a size of $4,6,8\text{ and }10$ .

Concept used:

The number of ways of arranging $n$ item in order $=n!$ .

The probability formula is used to compute the probability of an event to occur as:

  $P\left(A\right)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcome}}{\text{Total Number of favorable outcomes}}$ .

Calculation:

By the Fundamental Counting Principle: the number ofpossible outcomes.

In a sample space can be found by multiplying the number of possible outcomes from each stage or event.

There are  $4$ choices for the size and four for the color. Therefore, we can select  $4\left(4\right)=16$ different coats.

Hence, there is $16$ different coat.
