Find the number of possible outcomes by using the fundamental counting principle.
---
The Fundamental counting Principle is:
"If a process requires 2 actions and the 1st action can be done in x ways
and the 2nd action can be done in y ways, then the process can be done
in x*y ways".
-----------------------------------------------------
11. Suppose you toss a coin five times.
# of possible outcomes is 2*2*2*2*2 = 32
===============================================
12. Suppose you can make an outfit from six sweaters, four pairs of jeans, and two pairs of shoes.
# of outfits = 6*4*2 = 48
==============================
