Question:

A die is thrown repeatedly until a six comes up. What is the sample space for this experiment?

Answer:

Step 1: The sample space for this experiment is a set of all possible outcomes of the experiment.

Step 2: In this case, the possible outcomes are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Step 3: Therefore, the sample space for this experiment is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Question:

Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment : A coin is tossed four times

Answer:

Answer:

Step 1: The sample space for the experiment is the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment.

Step 2: The possible outcomes of the experiment are: {HHHT, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, THHT, TTHH, HTTT, THTT, TTTH, TTTT}, where H = heads and T = tails.

Step 3: Therefore, the sample space for the experiment is {HHHT, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, THHT, TTHH, HTTT, THTT, TTTH, TTTT}.

Question:

An experiment consists of rolling a die and then tossing a coin once, if the number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd the coin is tossed twice. Write the sample space for this experiment

Answer:

Step 1: List out the possible outcomes of rolling a die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Step 2: For each of the even numbers (2, 4, 6), list out the possible outcomes of tossing a coin once: heads, tails

Step 3: For each of the odd numbers (1, 3, 5), list out the possible outcomes of tossing a coin twice: heads-heads, heads-tails, tails-heads, tails-tails

Sample Space: {1: heads-heads, heads-tails, tails-heads, tails-tails; 2: heads, tails; 3: heads-heads, heads-tails, tails-heads, tails-tails; 4: heads, tails; 5: heads-heads, heads-tails, tails-heads, tails-tails; 6: heads, tails}

Question:

A coin is tossed. If the out come is a head a die is thrown. If the die shows up an even number the die is thrown again. What is the sample space for the experiment?

Answer:

Step 1: The sample space for the coin toss is {Head, Tail}.

Step 2: If the outcome is a Head, the sample space for the die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Step 3: If the die shows an even number, the sample space for the second throw of the die is {2, 4, 6}.

Step 4: The sample space for the experiment is the combination of all the possible outcomes of the coin toss and the die throws. Thus, the sample space is {Head, Tail} x {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} x {2, 4, 6} = {Head-1-2, Head-1-4, Head-1-6, Head-2-2, Head-2-4, Head-2-6, Head-3-2, Head-3-4, Head-3-6, Head-4-2, Head-4-4, Head-4-6, Head-5-2, Head-5-4, Head-5-6, Head-6-2, Head-6-4, Head-6-6, Tail-1-2, Tail-1-4, Tail-1-6, Tail-2-2, Tail-2-4, Tail-2-6, Tail-3-2, Tail-3-4, Tail-3-6, Tail-4-2, Tail-4-4, Tail-4-6, Tail-5-2, Tail-5-4, Tail-5-6, Tail-6-2, Tail-6-4, Tail-6-6}.

Question:

2 boys and 2 girls are in Room X and 1 boy and 3 girls in Room Y Specify the sample space for the experiment in which a room is selected and then a person

Answer:

Sample space = {(Room X, Boy), (Room X, Girl), (Room Y, Boy), (Room Y, Girl)}

Question:

A coin is tossed. If the out come is a head a die is thrown. If the die shows up an even number the die is thrown again. What is the sample space for the experiment?

Answer:

Sample Space = {HH1, HH2, HH3, HH4, HH5, HH6, TH1, TH2, TH3, TH4, TH5, TH6, HT1, HT2, HT3, HT4, HT5, HT6}

Where, HH1 = Head is tossed and die shows up 1 HH2 = Head is tossed and die shows up 2 TH1 = Tail is tossed and die shows up 1 TH2 = Tail is tossed and die shows up 2 HT1 = Head is tossed and die shows up 1 again HT2 = Head is tossed and die shows up 2 again

And so on…

Question:

Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment : A coin is tossed three times

Answer:

Answer:

Step 1: The sample space for a single coin toss is {Heads, Tails}.

Step 2: The sample space for three coin tosses is {Heads, Heads, Heads}, {Heads, Heads, Tails}, {Heads, Tails, Heads}, {Tails, Heads, Heads}, {Tails, Tails, Heads}, {Tails, Heads, Tails}, {Heads, Tails, Tails}, {Tails, Tails, Tails}.

Question:

An experiment consists of recording boy-girl composition of families with 2 children (i) What is the sample space if we are interested in knowing whether it is a boy or girl in the order of their births? (ii) What is the sample space if we are interested in the number of girls in the family?

Answer:

(i) The sample space is {BB, BG, GB, GG}, where B = boy and G = girl.

(ii) The sample space is {0, 1, 2}, where 0 = no girls, 1 = one girl, and 2 = two girls.

Question:

An experiment consists of tossing a coin and then throwing it second time if a head occurs. If a tail occurs on the first toss then a die is rolled once. Find the sample space

Answer:

Sample Space = {(H,H), (H,T), (T,1), (T,2), (T,3), (T,4), (T,5), (T,6)}

Question:

Answer:

Step 1: List the possible outcomes of tossing a coin: Head or Tail

Step 2: List the possible outcomes of drawing a ball from a box containing 2 red and 3 black balls: 2 Red Balls, 3 Black Balls

Step 3: List the possible outcomes of throwing a die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Step 4: Construct the sample space for this experiment: {Head-2 Red Balls, Head-3 Black Balls, Tail-2 Red Balls, Tail-3 Black Balls, Head-1, Head-2, Head-3, Head-4, Head-5, Head-6, Tail-1, Tail-2, Tail-3, Tail-4, Tail-5, Tail-6}
