In a class of 50 students, 20 are majoring in Physics, 20 are majoring in chemistry and 10 are majoring in Mathematics. In how many ways we can choose a representative from each group?
Solution:
$E_1 \rightarrow$ choosing representative from students majoring in Physics
$E_2 \rightarrow \ldots .$. majoring in Chemistry
$E_3 \rightarrow$. . . . . . . Mathematics
$\# \left(E_1\right)=20, \# \left(E_2\right)=20, \# \left(E_3\right)=10$
$\# \left(E_1 \times E_2 \times E_3\right)=20 \times 20 \times 10=4000$
