A finite experiment has 2 stages. The stage choices are independent

At the first stage, the possible outcomes are violet, amber. Their branch probabilities are \(\text{violet}: \frac{1}{2}\), \(\text{amber}: \frac{1}{2}\)

At the second stage, the possible outcomes are violet, amber, white. Their branch probabilities are \(\text{violet}: \frac{1}{3}\), \(\text{amber}: \frac{1}{3}\), \(\text{white}: \frac{1}{3}\)

Let \(S\) be the sample space of ordered stage outcomes

Let \(E\) be the event that exactly one stage outcome is amber

(a)1 mark

Which option is the only representation of \(S\) that lists every ordered outcome exactly once?

(b)3 marks
