Interactive practice questions
The heights (in cm) of a population of 3 people are $A$A, $B$B and $C$C.
a
List all possible samples of size 2 without replacement. For example if the first 2 are selected we can write that as $AB$AB.
Use commas to separate different samples.
b
If $A=171$A=171, $B=153$B=153 and $C=162$C=162, complete the following table:

|---|---|
| $171$171, $153$153 | $\editable{}$ cm |
| $171$171, $162$162 | $\editable{}$ cm |
