Question

Jo flips a coin { H , T } ; then rolls a 6 - sided die { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } . Which of the following outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment ?

A . H3
B . HH
C. 12
D. T7​

Answer 1

c.12

Explanation:

Using the concept of sample space, it is found that the number of possible outcomes in the experiment is given by:

C. 12

The sample space of an experiment is the set that contains all possible outcomes.

In this problem:

For the coin, there are 2 outcomes.

For the dice, there are 6 outcomes.

The coin and the dice are independent, thus, there are 2 x 6 = 12 possible outcomes, which means that the correct option is:

C. 12
