Question

Four runners, Fran, Gloria, Haley, and Imani, compete on a relay team. Haley is the first runner in the relay. The other runners can run in any order. What is the sample space showing the possible orders of the other three runners? S = {FGI, GFI, IFG} S = {FGI, FIG, GFI, GIF} S = {FGI, FIG, GFI, GIF, IFG, IGF} S = {FGI, FIG, GFI, GIF, HFG, HGI, IFG, IGF}

Next If I comes first then the possibilities are
IGF and IFG

Therefore sample space for all the possibilities as noted above are;
S = {FGI, FIG, GFI, GIF, IFG, IGF}
