Question

Suppose we describe the weather as either hot (H) or cold (C). Using the letters H and C, list all the possible outcomes for the weather on two consecutive days.

Answer 1

HC
CH
HH
CC

These are the answers

Answer 2

`\left \{ HH,HC,CH,CC \right \}`

Explanation:

Given : H denotes hot and C denotes cold .

To find : all the possible outcomes for the weather on two consecutive days

Solution :

Outcomes refer to the possibilities which may happen when an event take place .

First outcome:

If it's hot on both the days, outcome is HH

Second outcome:

If it's hot on first day and cold on the second day, outcome is HC

Third outcome:

If it's cold on the first day and hot on the second day, outcome is CH

Fourth outcome:

If it's cold on both the days, outcome is CC

So, outcomes are
`\left \{ HH,HC,CH,CC \right \}`
