Exercise 46 Page 937

We are given an experiment and want to represent the sample space by making an organized list, a table, and a tree diagram. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes. In this case, the sample space is the result of two stages.

  • First Choice (Type) — flats or heels
  • Second Choice (Color) — black or navy blue
Keep in mind that there are several ways to make a list, a table, and a tree diagram. The part that matters most is that the sample space ends up with all of the possible combinations. We will make all of them one at a time.
