The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first identify the sample space and then analyze the events based on the outcomes of the coin toss and the die roll. ### Step 1: Identify the outcomes of the coin toss When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: - Head (H) - Tail (T) ### Step 2: Determine the action based on the coin toss According to the problem, if the coin shows a head (H), we will roll a die. If the coin shows a tail (T), we do not roll the die. ### Step 3: Identify the outcomes when the die is rolled If the coin shows a head (H), the outcomes from rolling a die are: - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 ### Step 4: Construct the sample space Now we can construct the complete sample space (S) for the experiment: - If the coin shows a head (H), the outcomes are: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 (where H represents the head and the number represents the die outcome). - If the coin shows a tail (T), the outcome is: T (since we do not roll the die). Thus, the complete sample space (S) is: S = {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T} ### Step 5: Count the total number of outcomes Now, we count the total number of outcomes in the sample space: - There are 6 outcomes when the coin shows a head (H) and 1 outcome when it shows a tail (T). - Therefore, the total number of outcomes = 6 (from H) + 1 (from T) = 7. ### Final Result The total number of outcomes in the sample space is 7. ---
