In this experiment, Jo flips a coin and then rolls a 6-sided die. The sample space consists of all possible combinations of the coin flip outcomes (H for heads and T for tails) and the die outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The possible outcomes in the sample space are:

  • H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 (if the coin shows heads)
  • T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 (if the coin shows tails)

Now, let's evaluate the given options:

  1. H3 - This is a valid outcome (H from the coin and 3 from the die).
  2. H3 (repeated) - This is again a valid outcome.
  3. HH - This is invalid because it does not include a die result.
  4. HH (repeated) - This is still invalid for the same reason.
  5. 12 - Invalid. It needs a letter for the coin.
  6. 12 (repeated) - Invalid for the same reason.
  7. T7 - Invalid. The die only has outcomes from 1 to 6.
  8. T7 (repeated) - Invalid for the same reason.

Thus, the only outcomes from the provided options that are in the sample space are both instances of H3.
