D = {student gets a donut to eat}
M = {student gets a muffin to eat}
B = {student gets a bagel to eat}
a. She decides she wants to get one item to eat and one item to drink. List the elements in the sample space S.

Sample Space
The set of all possible outcomes in a probability experiment.
Probability
A measure of the likelihood of a particular event or outcome in a set of possible events, typically expressed as a ratio between 0 and 1.
- Compute marginal, conditional, and joint probabilities for specified events.
- Employ probability principles to determine outcomes in real-world contexts, such as the probability of actions being successful or unsuccessful and events taking place.
