Consider the use of lists to demonstrate the possible outcomes but also use sample spaces (p. 281 FTM(S)). Use examples where all possible outcomes can be demonstrated, e.g. taking two cards (with replacement) from the digit cards 0 to 9. Use the sample space to find probabilities, e.g. Pr(3,4) or Pr(Same number).
