The correct Answer is:
To describe the sample space for the experiment of tossing a coin twice and recording the number of heads, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Experiment We are tossing a coin twice. Each toss can result in either Heads (H) or Tails (T). ### Step 2: List All Possible Outcomes When a coin is tossed twice, the possible outcomes can be represented as follows: 1. First toss: H, Second toss: H → Outcome: HH 2. First toss: H, Second toss: T → Outcome: HT 3. First toss: T, Second toss: H → Outcome: TH 4. First toss: T, Second toss: T → Outcome: TT So, the complete set of outcomes when tossing the coin twice is: {HH, HT, TH, TT}. ### Step 3: Count the Number of Heads in Each Outcome Next, we need to record the number of heads in each of these outcomes: - HH → 2 heads - HT → 1 head - TH → 1 head - TT → 0 heads ### Step 4: Define the Sample Space Now, we can summarize the number of heads recorded from the outcomes: - 0 heads (from TT) - 1 head (from HT and TH) - 2 heads (from HH) Thus, the sample space for the number of heads recorded is: **Sample Space = {0, 1, 2}** ### Final Answer The sample space for the experiment of tossing a coin twice and recording the number of heads is {0, 1, 2}. ---
