    "i" varies according to the results of the first experiment. If i = 1, then experiment two has ni = (4) (1) outcomes. If i = 2, then the second experiment has ni = nm = (4) (2) = 8 outcomes as you have shown. 12 is the correct answer. You have offered a solution. Can you verify that this answer is correct? Make a new problem: This time experiment one has 3 possible outcomes (1,2,3). Let's still keep n = 4 for simplicity. Therefore, experiment two will have (4,8,12) outcomes that are dependent upon the result of experiment one.
