A lottery is conducted using three urns. Each urn contains chips numbered from 0 to 9. One chip is selected at random from each urn. The total number of sample points in the sample space is:_______ a) 30 b) 100 c) 729 d) 1,000"

Respuesta :

Answer: Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we have 3 urns.

Each urn can give a number between 0 and 9, so each urn has 10 options.

And as the urns are different, the outcome in the first urn does not affect the outcomes in the others, and the same happens for the outcome in the second urn, so the events are independent.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each event (here each urn is one event)

then the number of combinations is:

C = 10*10*10 = 10^3 = 1000

Then the correct option is d.
