You can put this solution on YOUR website! A restaurant offers the following choices for breakfast:
Eggs: scrambled, fried or poached
Meat: bacon, sausage, or ham
Toast: wheat, white, rye or pumpernickel
The Super Breakfast allows you to select two items for the meat list.
------------------------------------------------
How many breakfast combinations are possible if you select
one each of the eggs:::3 choices
---
one of the toast choices: 4 choices
---
two different meat choices: 3C2 = 3 choices
------
Total # of meals = 3*4*3 = 36
--------------------------------------
Create sample space????????
1st column: list the egg choices
2nd column: to the right of each egg choice list the 3 pairs of meat choices
3rd column: to the right of each meat pair list the toast choices
Total # of branches will be 36
