The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to describe the event of getting a head and an even number when a coin and a die are tossed. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Sample Space When we toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes: - Heads (H) - Tails (T) When we toss a die, there are six possible outcomes: - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Now, we can combine these outcomes to form the total sample space when both the coin and the die are tossed together. **Sample Space (S)**: - (H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4), (H, 5), (H, 6) - (T, 1), (T, 2), (T, 3), (T, 4), (T, 5), (T, 6) Thus, the total sample space consists of 12 outcomes. ### Step 2: Identify the Required Event The event we are interested in is getting a head and an even number. The even numbers on a die are 2, 4, and 6. **Even Numbers**: 2, 4, 6 Now, we need to combine the outcome of getting a head with each of these even numbers. ### Step 3: List the Outcomes for the Required Event The outcomes that satisfy the condition of getting a head and an even number are: - (H, 2) - (H, 4) - (H, 6) Thus, the required event can be represented as: **Event A** = {(H, 2), (H, 4), (H, 6)} ### Conclusion The event of getting a head and an even number when a coin and a die are tossed is represented by the outcomes: - (H, 2) - (H, 4) - (H, 6)
