Use Y and a number to represent a yellow golf ball and W and a number to represent a white golf ball. Which list below shows the sample space?

A.

{HW1, HW2, HY1, HY2, HY3, HY4, HY5, TW1, TW2, TY1, TY2, TY3, TY4, TY5}

B.

{HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

    {HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

    The probability you get tails and select a white golf ball is 0.36

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 2 yellow golf balls: Y1 and Y2

    There are 5 white golf balls: W1, W2, W3, W4 and W5

    Then, the sample space is: {HY1, HY2, HW1, HW2, HW3, HW4, HW5, TY1, TY2, TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

    What is the probability you get tails and select a white golf ball?

    desired outcomes {TW1, TW2, TW3, TW4, TW5}

    number of desired outcomes: 5

    number of possible outcomes: 14

    probability: 5/14 = 0.36
