    Answer: { (MBV), (MBH), (MEV), (MEH), (OBV), (OBH), (OEV), (OEH) }

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sample space is a set that contains all the possible outcomes for an event.

    For salad:

    Choices for extra toppings (mushrooms, olives) = 2

    Choices for meats (bacon, eggs) = 2

    Choices for dressings (vinaigrette, honey mustard.) = 2

    By Fundamental counting principal.

    The number of different salads can be made = (Choices for extra toppings) x (Choices for meats) x (Choices for dressings)

    = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

    All the possible outcomes = (MBV), (MBH), (MEV), (MEH), (OBV), (OBH), (OEV), (OEH)

    Required Sample space would be : { (MBV), (MBH), (MEV), (MEH), (OBV), (OBH), (OEV), (OEH) }
