Question

Two fair dice are thrown. State the sample space and write favorable outcomes for the following event:

D: Even number on the first die.

Sum

Solution

When two fair dice are tossed, the sample space S is given by

S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
        (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
        (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6),
        (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
        (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6),
        (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

D ≡ event of even number on the first die

∴ D = {(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
