In: Math
Each of three barrels from a manufacturing line are classified as either above (a) or below (b) the target weight. Provide the ordered sample space.
Let us first discuss the sample space:
It is a space in which all the possibilities of occurrence of event lie is known as sample space.
For instance,
Tossing a pair of coin simultaneously,
the possibilities will be(Sample space): {H, H}, {H, T}, {T, H}, {T, T}.

Similarly,
going with the above question
We have to construct for 3 barrels that can either be above (a) or below (b) the target weight
then the possibilities will be (sample space):
{a, a, a}, all three barrels are above the target
{a, a, b}, first two barrels are above and the third one is below
{a, b, a}, 1st, and 3rd is above and 2nd is below
{a, b, b}, 1st is above and 2nd 3rd is below
{b, a, a}, 1st is below and 2nd and 3rd is above
{b, a, b}, 1st, and 3rd is below and 2nd is above
{b, b, a}, 1st, and 2nd is below and 3rd is above
{b, b, b}, all three barrels are below the target.
