Micah has 14 different color markers in a pencil case. He plans on randomly selecting one marker to be the main color for an art piece. Then, without replacing the marker, he will select a second marker to be the accent color for an art piece.

How many unique outcomes are in the sample space for this situation?

There are 14 choices for the main color and 13 choices for the accent color (since it cannot be the same as the main color). Therefore, the total number of unique outcomes in the sample space is 14 * 13 = 196.
