You roll a red die and a green die. What is the size of the sample space of all possible outcomes of rolling these two dice, given that the red die shows a prime number and the green die shows an odd number?
lets put the red die first prime numbers between 1 and 6 are 2, 3, and 5
yep
odd numbers for the green die are 1,3 and 5
so by the counting principle there are \(3\times 3=9\) possibilities all together
yea...
\((\color{red}{2},\color{green}{1})\), (\(\color{red}{2},\color{green}{3})\), \((\color{red}{2},\color{green}{5})\) \((\color{red}{3},\color{green}{1})\), \((\color{red}{3},\color{green}{3})\), \((\color{red}{3},\color{green}{5})\) \((\color{red}{5},\color{green}{1})\), \((\color{red}{5},\color{green}{3})\), \((\color{red}{5},\color{green}{5})\)
so thats it? 9?
that's it
wow i feel dumb...
Thanks though
