Jenny is dog sitting for 13 dogs. One runs away. There were 3 Labradors (), 2 Golden Retrievers (), 3 Dalmatians (), 4 terriers (), and 1 bulldog () in the original group.
Jenny thinks the dog that ran away was either a Labrador or a Golden Retriever. Now, she must look through her group of dogs and look for Labradors and Golden Retrievers to see if that is the case. What is the set of desired outcomes?
To determine the set of desired outcomes, we need to consider the possibilities and conditions given in the problem.
Given:
- There were originally 13 dogs that Jenny was dog sitting.
- The breeds of dogs in the original group were: 3 Labradors, 2 Golden Retrievers, 3 Dalmatians, 4 terriers, and 1 bulldog.
- One dog ran away.
- Jenny believes the dog that ran away was either a Labrador or a Golden Retriever.
Now, let's break down the possible scenarios:
Scenario 1: The dog that ran away is a Labrador
In this scenario, we assume that one of the Labradors in the original group ran away. The desired outcome for this scenario is one of the Labradors being missing while all the other dogs remain.
Scenario 2: The dog that ran away is a Golden Retriever
In this scenario, we assume that one of the Golden Retrievers in the original group ran away. The desired outcome for this scenario is one of the Golden Retrievers being missing while all the other dogs remain.
Therefore, the set of desired outcomes consists of the following possibilities:
- Scenario 1: One Labrador missing, with all other dogs present.
- Scenario 2: One Golden Retriever missing, with all other dogs present.
To determine the set of desired outcomes, we consider the specific conditions provided in the problem and identify the possible scenarios that fulfill those conditions.
