Why do probability questions where an outcome can be replaced include more total outcomes than probabiliyt quesitons where the outcome cannot be replaced?
Think about:
A) A character on a reality T.V show being eliminated, and then brought back to the show, versus the charater is eliminated and cannot return to the show.
B) If you were purchasing two I-Pods and the first I-Pod the salesman brings you, you do not like, versus the first I-Pod he brings you, you keep.
C) Hearing two songs on the radio on the way to work, versus hearing two songs on the radio, one on the way to work, and one on the way home.

It will be better for the t.v show becuase it shows them that the people trying out for it are actually trying to make it. Its a better chance for the people trying out to show what they got, also has a better chance not being eliminated if theres is a lot of people trying out
The reason why the question that can have a replacement have the outcome greater is because you are able to pick the same thing twice while, in the another one you just don't want nothing to be replace because you want that one to stay.
The probability questions where an outcome can be replaced includes more total outcomes because you are able to pick the same thing twice. In a probability question where the item cannot be replaced has a lower outcome because you aren't able to get the same thing twice.
A probability question where an outcome can be replaced has more total outcomes because you can pick the same object as you did before. When a probability does not replace, it has fewer total outcomes because you cant pick the same object again. You are left only to pick any other object.
