Answer 1

Which one has five numbers, since she is only counting days that she goes to school?

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

Look again...

Answer 4

If you choose B, that implies that at least one bus is late each day. If you choose C, that implies that on one day (Monday), no bus is late. So, there's some ambiguity here. What do the rest of you think?

Answer 5

I think it's D

Answer 6

I believe it is C.

Answer 7

D. implies six days, not five.

Answer 8

I believe it is D too

sample space is a collection of ALL the possible outcomes.
0 and 5 are possible outcomes too.

Answer 9

the sample space consists of all the possible scenarios
these are 0,1,2,3,4,5
