<PRE><B>Question 321172</B>
students can be categorized by gender (male or female), class (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors), and hair color (blonde, brunette, or redhead).

Using any method, how many different categories would there be? Explain how you found your answer

They might want the answer as 2*4*3 = 24

That could be illustrated with a tree diagram.

1st level has two branches
2nd level has 4 branches for each of the two 1st level branches
3rd level has 3 branches for each of the four 2nd level branches
Total of 24 branches.
