One colored chip-red,blue, or green- is selected ar random, and a die is rolled. Use the counting prnciple to determine the number of sample points in the sample space.
------------
The chip supplies three options: red, blue, or green
The die supplies 6 options: 1,2,3,4,5,6
---------------------
The counting principle says there are 3*6=18 points in the sample space.
