Question

Celine is playing a game at the school carnival. There is a box of marbles, and each box has a white, a green, a blue, and an orange marble. There is also a fair 12-sided die labeled with the numbers 1 through 12. How many outcomes are in the sample space for pulling a marble out of the box and rolling the die?4832168

Answer 1

Multiply the number of possible outcomes of pulling a marble out times the number of possible outcomes o rolling the die to find the total amount of outcomes in the sample space.

There are 4 different possibilities of pulling a marble out of a box: white, green, blue and orange. Since the die has 12 outcomes, then the total amount of outcomes in the sample space is:

$4\times12=48$
