Answer 1

Option 1: 15

Explanation:

Ricky is playing a game using 5 cards and a spinner

Card 1 , Card 2 , Card 3 , Card 4 , Card 5

and

㉦ Green, Red, Blue

Ricky picks a card and spins the spinner

The sample size outcome is:

{(1, G) (1, R) (1, B) (2, G) (2, R) (2, B) (3, G) (3, R) (3, B) (4, G) (4, R) (4, B) (5, G) (5, R) (5, B)}

Sample size is 15

Answer 2

15

Explanation:

The cards have 5 possible outcomes and the spinner has 3 possible outcomes. To find the sample size, you need to calculate the number of possibilities when drawing 1 card and landing on 1 side of the spinner. You can do this by multiplying the possible outcomes together.

5×3 = 15

Therefore, the sample size is 15.
