Fundamental or Multiplicative Counting Principle
The process of finding a combination of choices is a task.
Each break in the task where a choice must be made is a stage.
If a task is made up of multiple stages, with separate choices in each stage, the total number of ways of doing the task is calculated by m x n x p x …
m = number of choices in the first stage
n = number of choices in the second
p = number of choices in the thrid stage and so on
The pruduct of the choices results in the number of possible ways of completing the task
This rule is only used when the number of stages is a constant.

Guys you did a great job explaining the lesson, but why do you guys use another page eventhough there is not much information in this extra page that requires you to make up a new page.

Good job! but there is a spelling mistake on the second last line it says 'pruduct' instead of 'product'.
