Given:
Minni is arranging 3 different music CDs in a row on a shelf.
To find:
The sample space for the arrangement of a jazz CD (J), a pop CD (P), and a rock CD (R).
Solution:
We know that the total number of ways to arrange n items is n!.
Minni is arranging 3 different music CDs in a row on a shelf. So, the total number of ways is:
The sample space for the arrangement of a jazz CD (J), a pop CD (P), and a rock CD (R) is:
{JPR, JRP, PJR, PRJ, RJP, RPJ}
Therefore, the required sample space is {JPR, JRP, PJR, PRJ, RJP, RPJ}.
