Answer 1

The sample space is used to prepare a list of all possible outcomes or element in an experiment. The sample space containing all elements attainable for the number of working pumps at a particular station is listed below :

• Number of stations = 2

• Number of pumps per station = 6

Let the number of pumps in use at each station be listed on the row and column respectively :

P1/P2_0 _ 1__ 2 __ 3 __ 4 __ 5 __ 6

0__ 0,0 _0,1 _0,2 _0,3 __0,4_ 0,5_0,6

1__ 1,0 __1,1 _1,2 __1,3 __1,4 __1,5_ 1,6

2__2,0 _2,1 _2,2 _2,3 __2,4 __2,5_2,6

3__3,0_3,1 _3,2 _ 3,3 __3,4 __3,5 _3,6
