Question:

1. In the NBA, the 14 basketball teams that did not make the playoffs participate in the draft lottery. Ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 are placed in a lottery machine, and a sample of four balls is drawn randomly to determine which team will have the first overall draft pick. The order in which the numbers are drawn does not matter. The combination 511, 12, 13, 146 is ignored if it is drawn. (Note: Each team is assigned between 5 and 250 combinations prior to the drawing in the order of their regular season record.) Give an example of an outcome of the draw. In 2015, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the worst record in the NBA and were assigned 250 combinations, won the first overall pick. What percentage of the combinations were assigned to the Minnesota Timberwolves?
2. Suppose that a coin is tossed and a die is rolled, and the face and number appearing are observed. How many outcomes are in the sample space?
