Shona spins a spinner with three equal-sized spaces—red, green, and yellow—and then rolls a six-sided die numbered from 1 to 6.
the sample size for this compound event is __ . if instead of three colored spaces, the spinner has four colored spaces, the sample size would be
a: 6,12,14,18
b: 12,14,18,24

Sample size--

It is the collections of all the possible outcomes of an event.

(A)

It is given that:

Shona spins a spinner with three equal-sized spaces—red, green, and yellow and then rolls a six-sided die numbered from 1 to 6.

This means that the possible outcomes are given as follows:

(Red,1)          (Green,1)           (Yellow,1)

(Red,2)         (Green,2)          (Yellow,2)

(Red,3)         (Green,3)           (Yellow,3)

(Red,4)         (Green,4)           (Yellow,4)

(Red,5)         (Green,5)           (Yellow,5)

(Red,6)         (Green,6)           (Yellow,6)

This means that the total number of outcomes are: 18

Hence, the sample size for this compound event is:  18

(B)

If the spinner has four colored spaces.

Let the fourth color be: Blue

Then the possible outcomes are given by:

(Red,1)          (Green,1)           (Yellow,1)           (Blue,1)

(Red,2)         (Green,2)          (Yellow,2)          (Blue,2)

(Red,3)         (Green,3)           (Yellow,3)          (Blue,3)

(Red,4)         (Green,4)           (Yellow,4)          (Blue,4)  

(Red,5)         (Green,5)           (Yellow,5)          (Blue,5)

(Red,6)         (Green,6)           (Yellow,6)          (Blue,6)

Hence, the total number of outcomes are:  24

The sample size of this compound event would be 24.
