Answer

$12$ possible choices.

Work Step by Step

Apply the Fundamental Principle of Counting If $n$ independent events occur, with $m_{1}$ ways for event 1 to occur, $m_{2}$ ways for event 2 to occur, $\ldots$ and $m_{n}$ ways for event $n$ to occur, then there are $m_{1}\cdot m_{2}\cdot\cdots\cdot m_{n}$ different ways for all $n$ events to occur. --- $m_{1}=2$ $m_{2}=3$ $m_{3}=2$ Total = $2\times 3\times 2$ = $12$ possible choices.
