Question

How many outcomes are in the sample space for the event "first roll a die and then toss a coin"?

Answer 1

i think it would be 12 sorry if wrong

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Explanation:

If a combined event consists of two events having possibilities of outcomes as a and b respectively, then the total number of outcomes for the combined event will be given by :-

`a* b`

We know that the number of possible outcomes for rolling a die = 6

And the number of possible outcomes for tossing a coin = 2

Then , the number of outcomes are in the sample space for the event "first roll a die and then toss a coin" will be:-

`6* 2=12`
