Question

16 of 22

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of possible outcomes in each trial of this game is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rolling of a 6 sided die followed by tossing of a fair coin

Required

Number of possible outcomes

The first step is to list out the possible outcomes of rolling a die and tossing a coin

Rolling a fair die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Tossing a coin = {Head, Tail}

Let Head be represented by H and Tail be represented by T;

So,

Rolling a fair die = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Tossing a coin = {H, T}

The question states that a roll of a 6 sided die is followed by a toss of a fair coin

This means that each trial is {A roll of die and A toss of coin}

So, the sample space is as follows

Sample Space = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}

Number of outcomes in the sample space is 12.

Hence, the number of possible outcomes in each trial of this game is 12
