You have been asked to flip a coin for heads or tails and then select a golf ball from a bucket that contains 2 yellow golf balls and 5 white golf balls. List the possible outcomes in the sample space. What is the probability you get tails and select a white golf ball?
Use Y and a number to represent a yellow golf ball and W and a number to represent a white golf ball. Which list below shows the sample space?
A.
{HW1, HW2, HY1, HY2, HY3, HY4, HY5, TW1, TW2, TY1, TY2, TY3, TY4, TY5}
B.
{HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}
C.
{HY, HW, TY, TW}

{HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

The probability you get tails and select a white golf ball is 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 yellow golf balls: Y1 and Y2

There are 5 white golf balls: W1, W2, W3, W4 and W5

Then, the sample space is: {HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

What is the probability you get tails and select a white golf ball?

desired outcomes {TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

number of desired outcomes: 5

number of possible outcomes: 14

probability: 5/14 = 0.36

answer is 67%
