Question
In a single throw of a die describe the event:
A = Getting a number less than 7
Solution
When a dice is thrown, the sample space is given by S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Accordingly, we have:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

One urn contains two black balls (labelled B1 and B2) and one white ball. A second urn contains one black ball and two white balls (labelled W1 and W2). Suppose the following experiment is performed. One of the two urns is chosen at random. Next a ball is randomly chosen from the urn. Then a second ball is chosen at random from the same urn without replacing the first ball. Write the sample space showing all possible outcomes
One urn contains two black balls (labelled B1 and B2) and one white ball. A second urn contains one black ball and two white balls (labelled W1 and W2). Suppose the following experiment is performed. One of the two urns is choosen at random. Next a ball is randomly chosen from the urn. Then a second ball is choosen at random from the same urn without replacing the first ball. What is the probability that two balls of opposite colour are choosen?
