Question

A box contains 4 pair of sunglasses. How many outcomes are in the sample space for pulling out a single pair, not returning it, then drawing out a second set of glasses.

a. 8
b. 12
c. 6
d. 9

Answer 1

B.12

Explanation:

For your first draw you have 4 possible options, then on your second draw you have 3 possible options since you took out a pair. So to figure out the number of possible outcomes you simply multiply the possibilities by each other to get the number of possible outcomes.
