2.) Consider this experiment: I have two nickles. I toss each nickle one time and record whether heads or tails appears.

a.) What is the sample space of this expermient?

b.) If I talked about the event of \"getting both heads\" , would this be a simple or a compound event? Why?

Solution

2.) Consider this experiment: I have two nickles. I toss each nickle one time and record whether heads or tails appears.

a.) What is the sample space of this expermient?

sample space = {HH,HT,TH,TT}

b.) If I talked about the event of \"getting both heads\" , would this be a simple or a compound event? Why?

This is a simple compound

sample space= { HH}.

A compound event is an event with two or more favorable outcomes. But here we are having two outcomes, getting head in first coin and head in second coin .
