Answer 1

TRUE

- apex
yes a compound

Answer 2

Yes, It is a compound event.

Explanation:

Given : Amanda rolls a prime number on a die. She rolls again and gets a 3.

To find : This situation describes a compound event or not?

Solution :

Compound event is defined as an event that has more than one possible outcomes.

Favorable outcomes of getting a prime on a 6-sided die is 2,3,5 i.e. 3 possible outcomes.

Total outcome = 6

When she rolls again she get a 3.

i.e. Probability of getting 3 is
`(1)/(6)`

As in a compound event, an experiment gives more than one possible outcomes. These outcomes may have different probabilities but they are all equally possible.

Therefore, The situation given above is a compound event.
