Math Problem Statement
List the elements of the sample space defined by each experiment.
Roll a single die and then toss a coin.
{1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}{1HT, 2HT, 3HT, 4HT, 5HT, 6HT} {HH, HT, TH, TT}{HH, HT, TH, TT, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, H, T}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Solution
When rolling a single die and then tossing a coin, the sample space includes all possible outcomes of the die roll followed by all possible outcomes of the coin toss. Each element of the sample space is a pair consisting of a number from the die (1 to 6) and a result from the coin toss (H or T).
The correct sample space for this experiment is:
{1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}
This set lists all possible outcomes where each die result is followed by either heads (H) or tails (T).

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
- What is the probability of rolling a 4 and getting heads?
- How does the sample space change if you roll two dice and then toss a coin?
- What is the probability of rolling an even number and getting tails?
- If the die is biased towards 6, how would that affect the probabilities in the sample space?
- Can you generalize the sample space for rolling an -sided die and then tossing a coin?
Tip: In combined experiments, the sample space is created by considering all possible outcomes of each component event, leading to a larger set of possibilities.
