Question
In a bag, there are three balls; one black, one red, and one green. Two balls are drawn one after another with replacement. State sample space and n(S).
Solution
The bag contains three balls out of which one is black (B), one is red (R) and the other one is green (G).
Two balls are drawn one after the other, with replacement, from the bag.
∴ the sample space S is given by
S = {BB, BR, BG, RR, RB, RG, GG, GB, GR}
∴ n(S) = 9
