g A slot machine has three slots; each will show a cherry, a lemon, a star, or a bar when spun. The player wins if all three slots show the same three items. a. How many simple events are in the sample space

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider E_abc to be the event that a, b and c appear on the first, second and third slot of the spin machine.

Now, we are told that each slot has 4 possibilities which are a cherry, a lemon, a star, or a bar when spun.

Thus, from mn rule in probability, the total number of simple events in the sample space is = 4³ = 64

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
