Sample space is the set of possible outcomes of an experiment.
1. <span>Tossing a coin three times
There are possible outcomes.
Tossing the coin for the first time it can be a haid (H) or a tail (T). So, we can have this outcomes:
HHH
HHT
HTH
THH
TTH
THT
TTT
total: 6 outcomes
2. </span><span>The order that the top 5 students will receive their diplomas.
Here we need to find the number of permutations: 5!=5*4*3*2*1=120
3. </span><span>Tossing a pair of dice
The possible outcomes are the following: (a,b), where a is the first dice and b is the second dice
</span>(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)(3,1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)(5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,1)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6) , total 36 possible outcomes.
answer: $11.40
explanation: turn the percent into a decimal, multiply it by the starting cost, then subtract the product from the starting cost
>> 40% = 0.40
0.40 x 19 = 7.60
19 - 7.60 = 11.40
