Probability and Statistics

A major toy company is looking into marketing a new doll, Fashion Clash Cassie. Cassie wears skirts and blouses that are never the same color. A girl who plays with Cassie notices a pattern of how many outfits Cassie can wear in terms of how many colors of clothes she has available.

Your assignment:
1. Find how many different combinations of skirts and blouses are possible with 3, 4, 5 and 6 colors of each, and explain how you found your answers in as many ways as possible. Explain each method clearly. Remember, you get points for each different method that is clearly explained.

2. Find the pattern and explain how you found it.

3. How many different outfits would be possible with 10 colors to choose from.

4. Finally, draw a picture of Fashion Clash Cassie. Creativity on your drawing counts!!!
