Answer:
The number of the possible outcomes are:
12,13,14,15,16,17
21,23,24,25,26,27
31,32,34,35,36,37
41,42,43,45,46,47
51,52,53,54,56,57
61,62,63,64,65,67
71,72,73,74,75,76
The total number of possible outcomes = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
the numbers 1 through 7 are written on different pieces of paper; &
Two of these numbered pieces of paper are selected without replacement;
Also,
a 2-digit number is formed using the first number drawn in the tens place and the second number drawn used in the ones place.
Then:
if the first number drawn is 1 , then the possible outcomes will be :
12,13,14,15,16,17
If the first number drawn is 2; then the possible outcomes will be:
21,23,24,25,26,27
If the first number drawn is 3; then the possible outcomes will be:
31,32,34,35,36,37
If the first number drawn is 4; then the possible outcomes will be:
41,42,43,45,46,47
If the first number drawn is 5; then the possible outcomes will be:
51,52,53,54,56,57
If the first number drawn is 6; then the possible outcomes will be:
61,62,63,64,65,67
If the first number drawn is 7; then the possible outcomes will be:
71,72,73,74,75,76
The number of the possible outcomes are:
12,13,14,15,16,17
21,23,24,25,26,27
31,32,34,35,36,37
41,42,43,45,46,47
51,52,53,54,56,57
61,62,63,64,65,67
71,72,73,74,75,76
The total number of possible outcomes = 7 × 6 = 42
