Question

1. For each of the following experiments, state the sample space S.

a. A pair of dice is to be rolled, and the sum of the two numbers shown is to be recorded.

b. Ask a randomly selected student how many days a week they commute to campus (assume students commute at least once a week).

c. A coin is to be flipped 3 times, and each outcome is to be recorded. (hint: 8 elements)

d. A coin is to be flipped 3 times, and the number of tails shown is to be recorded.

e. A pair of dice is to be rolled, and the minimum of the two numbers shown is to be recorded.

Explanation / Answer

(a) S=(2,3,4,5,6,7,8.9.10.11.12)

(b) S = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

(c) S = (HHH, HHT, HTH, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, TTT)

(d) S = (0,1,2,3)

(e) S = (1,2,3,4,5,6)
