    Choices={SB, SR, MB, MR, LS, LM, XLB, XLR}

    8 combined choices

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Combinations

    We'll define two sets of options for the windbreaker jackets, one for the sizes and another for the colors. Being S=small, M=medium, L=large, and XL=extra large, then

    Z={S, M, L, XL}

    is the set of possible sizes for the windbreaker jackets. Now, being B=blue and R=red, the set of colors is

    C={B, R}

    The combined choices are found by the cartesian product of ZxC:

    Choices={SB, SR, MB, MR, LS, LM, XLB, XLR}

    Where MB, for example, is Medium-Blue

    That is the sample space for all the possible combinations, there are 8 in total
