Detailed explanation-1: -Hint: It is given that a coin is tossed and die is rolled simultaneously . the number of possible outcomes in tossing a coin is 2 and the number of possible outcomes of rolling a die is 6. Therefore the number of possible outcomes when both occur simultaneously is 2*6.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two experiments together tossing a coin then rolling a dice have 2 x 6 = 12 possible outcomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tossing a coin or rolling a die are examples of random experiments. Whenever we talk about probability there is a random experiment behind it. We talk about probability in the context of such an experiment.
Detailed explanation-4: -We have 6 numbers on a die, ∴ Total number of outcomes = 6 × 4 = 24. Q. Find the total number of outcomes when two coins and a die are tossed and rolled simultaneously.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
