Question

What is the total number of outcomes in the sample space when you toss a coin and spin a spinner with five equal sections 1 through 5?

Answer 1

10 Outcomes

Explanation:

When you toss a coin, the outcomes are Heads and Tails. Therefore:

• Number of Outcomes for a coin toss=2

The spinner has five equal sections, therefore:

• Number of possible outcomes for the spinner=5

The sample space of two events occur at the same time is the product of the outcomes of the two events.

Therefore, Total Number of Outcomes =2*5

=10 Outcomes
