The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Experiment A coin is tossed. If it results in a head (H), another coin is tossed. If it results in a tail (T), a die is thrown. ### Step 2: Identify Possible Outcomes 1. **If the first toss is a Head (H)**: - The second toss can result in either Head (H) or Tail (T). - Possible outcomes: HH, HT 2. **If the first toss is a Tail (T)**: - A die is thrown, which can result in any of the numbers 1 to 6. - Possible outcomes: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 ### Step 3: Complete Sample Space Combining the outcomes from both scenarios, we have the complete sample space: - Sample Space (S) = {HH, HT, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6} ### Step 4: Define the Event D We need to describe the event D: getting a tail and an odd number. - From the outcomes when a die is thrown (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6), the odd numbers are T1, T3, and T5. ### Step 5: List Outcomes for Event D Thus, the outcomes for event D (getting a tail and an odd number) are: - D = {T1, T3, T5} ### Final Answer The event D consists of the outcomes T1, T3, and T5. ---
