Question 4 • Pre-Algebra B

Jonathan has a bag that contains exactly one red marble (r), one yellow marble (y), and one green marble (g). He chooses a marble from the bag without looking. Without replacing that marble, he chooses a second marble from the bag without looking. Which outcomes would be included in the sample space for Jonathan’s experiment? Select three options.

Answer
A
yy
B
gr
C
gg
D
rg
E
yr

Explanation

Because Jonathan does not replace the first marble, the same color cannot appear twice. The possible outcomes record the first draw followed by the second draw, so order matters: gr, rg, and yr are all possible. The outcomes yy and gg are impossible because the bag contains only one marble of each color.
