p(a)={hit ,miss}=2

Answer 7

Let's list all the possible outcomes we could get...

-For the coin, we could get heads (H) or tails (T).
-In shooting the basket, we could either score (S) or miss (M).

So, lets look at all the possible combinations:
{(H,S), (H,M), (T,S), (T,M)}, which gives us 4 possible outcomes in the sample space.
