Lucas has five buttons in a container. Each button is a different shape. There is a star, an oval, a hexagon, a circle, and a heart. He picks one button, replaces it, and then picks another button. The sample size for this compound event is. Suppose one square-shaped button is added to the container. If Lucas repeats the same picking process, then the sample size would be.

Contains 5 buttons ...

picks one, then replaces. then picks another

since he puts the button back, the sample size remains the same as when he picked the 1st one ... and that sample size is 5

if 1 button is added, and he uses the same process and replaces the button he picked, then the sample size will be 6 ... because 1 button was added making a total of 6 buttons.
