Question

Question Jo flips a coin {H, T}; then rolls a 6-sided die {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment? (1 point) Responses 4 4 8 8 12 12 36

Answer 1

To determine the number of possible outcomes in the sample space of this experiment, we can analyze each step independently:

1. **Coin Flip**: There are 2 possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T).
2. **Rolling a Die**: There are 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

The total number of possible outcomes in the sample space can be found by multiplying the number of outcomes for each event:

\[
\text{Total Outcomes} = (\text{Number of Coin Outcomes}) \times (\text{Number of Die Outcomes}) = 2 \times 6 = 12
\]

Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes in the sample space of this experiment is **12**.
