Paton knows she will make a selection from 36 total possible outcomes. Which statement might describe what Paton is doing? Check all that apply.

Answer: All but statement 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get 36 as an outcome, the numbers need to multiply together in order to get 36. In other words, a*b*c*d * ... = desired outcome number. In statement 1, 3*9=27, and therefore not 36 outcomes. The rest do multiply to 36.
