The correct Answer is:
To describe the sample space for the given experiment, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the outcomes of the first coin toss When we toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes: - Heads (H) - Tails (T) ### Step 2: Determine the actions based on the first outcome - If the outcome is Heads (H), we will draw a ball from a bag that contains 2 red balls and 3 black balls. The possible outcomes when drawing a ball are: - Red Ball 1 (R1) - Red Ball 2 (R2) - Black Ball 1 (B1) - Black Ball 2 (B2) - Black Ball 3 (B3) Thus, the outcomes after getting Heads are: - H, R1 - H, R2 - H, B1 - H, B2 - H, B3 - If the outcome is Tails (T), we will toss the coin again. The possible outcomes for the second toss are again: - Heads (H) - Tails (T) ### Step 3: Determine the outcomes based on the second toss - If the second toss results in Heads (H), the outcomes will be: - T, H (and we don't draw a ball in this case) - If the second toss results in Tails (T), the outcomes will be: - T, T (and we also don't draw a ball in this case) ### Step 4: Combine all outcomes to form the sample space Now, we can combine all the outcomes from both scenarios to form the complete sample space (S): - From the first toss being Heads: - S = { (H, R1), (H, R2), (H, B1), (H, B2), (H, B3) } - From the first toss being Tails: - S = { (T, H), (T, T) } ### Final Sample Space Combining both parts, the complete sample space is: - S = { (H, R1), (H, R2), (H, B1), (H, B2), (H, B3), (T, H), (T, T) }
