Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The number of elements in the sample space S is found by using the Multiplication Principle. Since the dice are thrown 3 times, 7. (a) Define E as the event, “The sum of 7 appears 3 times.” When two dice are thrown, a sum of 7 can appear 6 ways, (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -The sample space S, is the set of all possible outcomes of a statistical experiment. Each outcome in a sample space is called a sample point. It is also called an element or a member of the sample space. S = heads, tails, or, S = H, T.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sample space is S = H, T. E = H is an event. Example 2 Tossing a die. The sample space is S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
