Question

Caleb throws a ball three times for his dog Leo. For each throw, Leo either

catches the ball or misses it. Identify the sample space (the correct list of
possible outcomes) for the results.
C = catch, M = miss
The notation CMC means Leo caught the first ball, missed the second one,
and caught the third one.
A. {CCCC, CCMM, MMMM}
B. {CCC, CCM, CMC, MCC, MMC, MCM, CMM, MMM}
C. {CCC, CMC, MMM}
D. {CC, CM, MC, MM}

Answer 1

B {CCC, CCM, CMC, MCC, MMC, MCM, CMM, MMM}

Explanation:

Ima try to explain this in the process of elimination:

A isn't right since he only throws the ball 3 times

C isn't right, since he could catch it, miss, then catch again and would still match the criteria stated.

D Isn't right since he threw it 3 times, not twice

that only leaved B to be correct! Hope this helps!
