Question

Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed and a die is thrown.

Answer 1

A coin has two faces: head (H) and tail (T).

A die has six faces that are numbered from 1 to 6, with one number on each face.

Thus, when a coin is tossed and a die is thrown, the sample space is given by:

S = {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}
