You draw two marbles without replacement from a bag containing three green marbles and four black marbles. The number of possible outcomes in the sample space is

Respuesta :

There are 7 marbles in the bag and in the first attempt, all 7 marbles are there. After one marble is taken away, then we have 6 marbles to choose from. Therefore we will multiply 7*6 = 42. hence, there are 42 possible outcomes.

The possible outcome are : GG, GG, GB, GB, GB, GB, GG, GG, GB, GB, GB,  and so on.

The number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 42.

It is given that the there are 3 marbles and 4 marbles in the bag.

It is required to find possible outcomes in the sample space.

What is permutation and combination?

A permutation can be defined as the number of ways a set can be arranged, order matters but in combination the order does not matter.

We have:

Green marbles = 3

Black marbles = 4

Total marbles = 7

If we taken out one marble from the bag then there are total 6 marble left after we have to one more marble out of 6 so the number of possible outcome:

= 7×6

= 42

Thus, the number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 42.
