प्रश्न
State the sample space and n(S) for the following random experiment.
A coin is tossed twice. If a second throw results in a tail, a die is thrown.
उत्तर
When a coin is tossed twice, the outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT.
A coin is tossed twice and if the second throw results in a tail, a die is thrown. Out of the above 4 possibilities, on second throw tail occurs in two cases only i.e., HT, TT.
∴ S = {HH, TH, HT1, HT2, HT3, HT4, HT5, HT6, TT1, TT2, TT3, TT4, TT5, TT6}
∴ n(S) = 14.
