The Number of sample points for awarding the three process is the product of the number of possible outcomes after each pick. Hence, the number of samole points is 59280

Total number of tickets = 40

First draw ; total possible outcomes = 40

Second draw ; total possible outcomes = (40 - 1) = 39

Third draw ; total possible outcomes = (39 - 1) = 38

The total number of sample points can be calculated thus :

  • 40 × 39 × 38 = 59280

Therefore, the total number of sample points is 59280
