Answer 1

2X, O6, X1, XH, X6, X7 are my options I can select more than 1

Answer 2

@zimmah can you help me?

Answer 3

If you first shoot a basketball, then the first element in your sequence should say X, or O

And then a number should FOLLOW that X or O.

A die has 6 faces.. so you can roll 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

So, your sample spaces consists of the events:

X1, X2, ... X6
O1, O2, ... O6

(The order of the events is important here)

Answer 4

In an "uncodified" way of writing your events, you can have:

Miss basket, then roll 1
Miss basket, then roll 2
...
Miss basket, then roll 6

Get basket, then roll 1
Get basket, then roll 2
...
Get basekt, then roll 6

Answer 5

anything that starts with X or O followed by a number.

Since it's not defined whether or not we use a 6-sided die, you could argue any number is valid

Answer 6

any positive integer, at least

Answer 7

^Hmm perhaps lol. Usually dice in my probability problems were always assumed 6-sided unless specified otherwise ;)

Answer 8

matter of interpretation, but they did not specify it was a standard die

Answer 9

wouldnt that mean its everything but the first one?

Answer 10

oh and xh right because thats not a number
