The first step would be to determine what type of rock it is, based on the classifications of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. All three have sets of characteristics common to them that indicate their method of formation. Beyond that, to find the actual place of origin geographically of a specific rock sample that may have been transported by erosional processes far from its place of origin, you would have to have some knowledge of formations--bodies of rock with specific characteristics that are found only in that formation. Factors to look at in the sample would be texture, type, fossils, and mineral composition.

How can you determine whether a sample is representative of a population?
Take a simple random sample.
What is the Sample space for 4?
In order to determine the sample space, an actual description of the problem is needed. A number doesn't give the required information.
A diagram used to determine the number of possible outcomes in a probability situation?

What type of probability used sample spaces to determine the numerical probability that an event will occur?
Discrete probability. It helps if the all the outcomes in the sample space are equally probable but that is not a necessity.
Why was it important to Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance?
Answer D- A higher sample size gives more accurate results- APEX LEARNING
