Answer: your question is not complete. Please let me assume this to be your question.
To perform a certain type of blood analysis, lab technicians must perform two procedures. The first procedure requires either one or two separate steps, and the second procedure requires either one, two, or three steps.
a. List the experimental outcomes associated with performing the blood analysis.
b. If the random variable of interest is the total number of steps required to do the complete
analysis (both procedures), show what value the random variable will assume for each of the experimental outcomes.
SOLUTION:
let's represent 1 for the first step, 2 for the second step, 3 for the third step.
a. The experimental outcomes are:
Since the first procedure can not take the third step, but can only take either the first or second step therefore the out are as follows;
1 and 1, 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 2 and 1, 2 and 2, 2 and 3 .
b. The value for each ot the experimental outcomes are the summation of each out come.
Therefore;
1+1=2
1+2=3
1+3=4
2+1=3
2+2=4
2+3=6
