Answer:

A, C and D

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to select which of the options is/are example(s) of compound event(s)

The easiest way to answer this is to have an idea of what we mean by a compound event. When we talk about a compound event, we are referring to an event that has more than one outcome. This is a direct contrast to a simple event where we have only one outcome. To find the probability of a compound event, we shall need to add up the probabilities of all the single events that lies there in

In answering this question, we shall be considering the options one after the other.

A. It is a compound event

This is because we are looking at more than one event happening

B. It is not a compound event

It is not a compound event as we have only one outcome

C. This is a compound event

We have more than one outcome here. In fact, we are dealing with more than one sample space here

D. It is a compound event

We are working on different simple events here

E. It is not a compound event

It is not because we are only focused on a particular type of outcome
