A coin is tossed. If it shows a tail, we draw a ball from a box which contains 2 red and 3 black balls. If it shows head, we throw a die. Find the sample space for this experiment.
A box contains 1 red and 3 identical white balls. One ball is drawn from the box, its colour is noted, it is placed back in the box and then a second ball is drawn. Write the sample space of the experiment.
The four balls are R, W, W, W (the white balls being identical, are not specified). One ball is drawn, the sample space is
The ball is replaced and another ball is drawn.
The sample space is
Hence, the combined sample space is : S = {RR, RW, WR, WW}
A box contains 5 slips marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Write the sample space of the experiment, when
(a) one slip is drawn.
(b) one slip is drawn, is number noted and replaced, then a second slip is drawn.
(c) one slip is drawn and not replaced, then a second slip is drawn.
