An experiment involves flipping a coin and rolling a fair six-sided die once. Let event A={ a head and an odd number occurring}

(a) List all the sample space for this experiment?

(b) What are the sample points contained in event A?

(c) What is the probability of that event A?

Solution

a)

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

b)

A = {H1, H3, H5}

c)

As there are 12 events in S and just 3 in A,

P(A) = 3/12 = 0.25 [answer]
