Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment : A die is thrown two times.

Explanation

When a die is thrown the possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5 or 6


When a die is thrown two times the sample space is given by S={(x,y):x,y = 1,2,3,4,5,6}


number of elements in this sample space is 6×6=36 while the sample space 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),
