which of the following show an element of the sample space for first rolling a die and then tossing a coin. CHECK ALL THAT APPLY !! A. 1 T B. 6 T C. H H D. 5 H E. 3 4 F. T 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A,B,D,E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you roll the die first so a number comes first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you sure @NaeNaeHoowaahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@NaeNaeHoowaahh please read through this: http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just explained myself after it

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@anna113 What are the possible outcomes of rolling a die?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@NaeNaeHoowaahh Thank you! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think its right @NaeNaeHoowaahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure @mathmate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause E has two numbers no letters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just ABD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry A,B,D

OpenStudy (mathmate):

A normal die has 6 faces, so the outcomes are {1,2,3,4,5,6}. ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea ok @mathmate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had a blonde moment, wait i am blonde

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Next, for the second part of the experiment, what are the outcomes of tossing a coin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont believe the numbers necesserly matter to tell you the truth. unless its higher than 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo whats the real answer people ????

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@chucho78 agree, especially the last phrase! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A,B,D right?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So you would choose answers where the first part fall within the outcomes of the die, and the second part contains any outcome from tossing the coin. ok so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to roll the dice first cuz thats what it says bruh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then flip the coin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @mathmate keep going

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So are you able to find the valid choices, OR are you able to find the invalid choices?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

For example, is choice C valid, and why or why not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well cause it has two letters and i need one number and a letter @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Exactly, so can you now proceed to find valid choices, check one by one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it matter which one comes first, number or letter?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@chucho78 it does, because the question says throw the die first. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it says to roll dice first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answers would be A , B and D @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Exactly, as @NaeNaeHoowaahh had put it. But this set of answers came from YOU! You should be proud of it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @mathmate and @NaeNaeHoowaahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome bae

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You're welcome! :)
