Question

Construct a probability model for the given experiment.

Tossing two fair coins,then a fair die

Answer 1

Step 1:

The probability model for a toss a fair coin and a fair die.

The set of all possible out comes tossing a two coins is .

The set of all possible out comes throwing a die is .

Then the set of all possible out comes, when tossing a two coins and throwing a fair die is

.

 

The number of all possible out comes are 24.

The number of ways that can occur tossing a two coins and throwing a die is 1.

All the events are equally likely events.

So the probability of happening of any event is considered as .

The probability of for equally likely outcomes is defined as and it is denoted by .

.

.

Solution :

The probability of tossing a two coins and throwing a die is .
