An experiment consists of tossing a coin and then tossing it second time if head occurs. If a tail occurs on the first toss, then a die is tossed once. Find the sample space.

Given: A coin is tossed and a die is rolled.


To Find: Write the sample space for the given experiment.


Explanation: In the given experiment, coin is tossed and if the outcome is tail then, die will be rolled.


The possible outcome for coin is 2 = {H, T}


And, The possible outcome for die is 6 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}


If the outcome for the coin is tail then sample space is S1={(T, 1)(T, 2)(T, 3)(T, 4)(T, 5)(T, 6)}


If the outcome is head then the sample space is S2={(H, H)(H, T)}


So, The required outcome sample space is S=S1S2


S={(T, 1)(T, 2)(T, 3)(T, 4)(T, 5)(T, 6)(H, H)(H, T)}


Hence, The sample space for the given experiment.
