Sample Space

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of outcomes in a sample space?

Back

Multiply the number of options for each event. For example, if there are 3 shirts and 2 pants, the total outcomes are 3 x 2 = 6.

Front

What is the sample space for flipping one coin?

Back

The sample space is {H, T} where H is heads and T is tails.

Front

What is the sample space for rolling a six-sided die?

Back

Front

If you flip two coins, what is the sample space?

Back

The sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

Front

How many outcomes are there when rolling a die and flipping a coin?

Back

There are 12 outcomes: 6 outcomes from the die and 2 from the coin, so 6 x 2 = 12.
