Required

Determine the sample space

The sample space is a list of combination of 1 meal and 1 beverage.

Because one individual can order only one of the meals and one of the beverages at any one time, then no two orders can be the same

The sample space (S) is as follows:

[tex]S = \{(Oatmeal, Coffee),(Eggs, Coffee),(Pancakes,Coffee),[/tex] [tex](Oatmeal, Tea),(Eggs, Tea),(Pancakes,Tea)\}[/tex]
