Steven has 26 different shirts, 26 different pairs of pants, and 26 different pairs of shoes. How many different outfits can he assemble by choosing one from each category? [As a hint, the answer is more than 10,000].
We can choose 1 of any 26 shirts, 1 of any 26 pairs of pants and 1 of any 26 pairs of shoes...so
C(26,1) * C(26,1) * C (26,1) =
[ C (26, 1) ] ^3 =
26^3 =
17,576 different outfits
