Answer: 10

Explanation:

A sample space refers to the set of the outcomes that are possible during an experiment. It should be noted that the sample space is typically represented by using the symbol, “S”.

For example, in a random experiment that involves throwing a coin, the results is either the head or tail, therefore, the sample space is 2. In this case, the sample space will be:

= 1 Yellow + 2 blue + 3 red + 4 green

= 10
