Answer: The sample space showing the possible orders of the other three runners is


S=\{HFGI,HGFI,HIGF,HFIG,HGIF,HIFG\}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of runners = 4

Four runners are as follows:

Fran, Gloria, Haley, and Imani.

Since Haley is the first runner in the relay,

So, Sample space showing the possible order of the other three runners.


S=\{HFGI,HGFI,HIGF,HFIG,HGIF,HIFG\}

Hence, the sample space showing the possible orders of the other three runners is


S=\{HFGI,HGFI,HIGF,HFIG,HGIF,HIFG\}
