Sample Spaces, 7.6A

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

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

Front

What are the possible outcomes when rolling a number cube labeled 1 to 6?

Back

The possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Front

What are the possible outcomes when flipping a coin?

Back

The possible outcomes are heads (H) and tails (T).

Front

If a number cube is rolled and a coin is flipped, how many total outcomes are there?

Back

There are 12 total outcomes: 6 outcomes from the number cube (1-6) multiplied by 2 outcomes from the coin (H, T).

Front

What does a tree diagram represent in probability?

Back

A tree diagram visually represents all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

How many outcomes are there if you toss a coin three times?

Back

There are 8 outcomes: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a number cube?

Back

The probability is 1/3, since the outcomes greater than 4 are 5 and 6.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a number cube?

Back

The probability is 1/2, since the outcomes less than 4 are 1, 2, and 3.

Front

What is an event in probability?

Back

An event is a specific outcome or a set of outcomes from a probability experiment.

Front

What is the difference between an outcome and a sample space?

Back

An outcome is a single result of an experiment, while a sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes.
