A coin is tossed and then a die is rolled only in case a head is shown on the coin. Describe the sample for this experiment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a coin is tossed either head or tail will turn up.
And, when head turns up then a dice is rolled otherwise not.
So, the total number of elementary events associated with this experiment is 1+6×1=7
Thus, the sample space will be
S= {T, (H, 1), (H,2) (H,3) (H,4) (H, 5), (H, 6)}
