Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that a dice is rolled until a six comes up.
It can be possible that the number 6 comes up with first throw or it can come up in second throw while first throw can contain any number from 1 to 6 and so on.
Thus, the sample space of this experiment is,
S={ 6,( 1,6 ),( 2,6 ),( 3,6 ),( 4,6 ),( 5,6 ),( 1,1,6 ),( 1,2,6 ),⋯, ( 1,5,6 ),( 2,1,6 ),⋯( 2,5,6 ),⋯,( 5,1,6 ),( 5,2,6 ),⋯ }
