Answer:

10 possible outcomes

S = {a6, a7, e6, e7, i6, i7, o6, o7, u6, u7}

Explanation:

As there are 5 vowels and 2 numbers that have to be chosen, the total outcomes are

= 5x2 = 10

Each vowel can be chosen with 6 or with 7

Let S be the sample space

a vowel will be chosen first then there is possibility that either the number chosen with it is either 6 or 7 so each vowel will have two possible outcomes with the number

S = {a6, a7, e6, e7, i6, i7, o6, o7, u6, u7} ..
