Question

an infant has 2 baskets in front of her. the first basket contains teethers and the second basket contains blocks, each labeled with a letter. she can select 1 item from each basket. the options for selecting an item from each basket are below. teethers: purple, orange, blue, and pink blocks: a, b, and c what is the probability that the infant randomly selects a orange teether and a block labeled with the letter a? how many different combinations of toys are possible? there are \\(\square\\) possible combinations.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify number of teether and block options

Teethers: purple, orange, blue, pink → 4 options.
Blocks: A, B, C → 3 options.

Step2: Calculate total combinations

Use multiplication principle: Total combinations = Number of teether options × Number of block options.
So, \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \).

Answer:

12
