Answer 2

sample space is the total number of possible outcomes.

when flipping a coin the sample space is {Heads,Tails}.

now for finding the sample space of spinning a wheel with 3 equal parts of say colour Red, Blue, Green:

the sample space is {Red,Blue,Green}

Now the sample space when flipping a coin and spinning a wheel with 3 equal parts will be :

{ (Heads,Red), (Heads,Blue) ,(Heads,green), (Tails, Red), (Tails, Blue), (Tails,Green) }
