The answer for your question is 1,950
Solution
- The number of possible outcomes in the sample space is simply gotten by multiplying out all the events together.
- There are 3 possible days: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes.
- There are 3 possible times: 3PM, 4PM, or 5PM. Thus, there are 3 possible outcomes again.
- There are also 9 possible classrooms available meaning another 9 possible outcomes.
- Thus, the total possible outcomes in the sample space is
P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.
