a. the sample space is {mbc, bcm, cmb}. if there were four runners, the sample size would be 4.
b. the sample space is {mbc, mcb, bcm, bmc, cbm, cmb}. if there were four runners, the sample size would be 24.
c. the sample space is {mbc, bcm, cmb}. if there were four runners, the sample size would be 4.
d. the sample space is {mbc, mcb, bcm, bmc, cbm, cmb}. if there were four runners, the sample size would be 16.
