Probability

Sample Space and Events

1. Consider a random experiment if tossing a coin three times:


a) Find the sample space S1 if we wish to observe the exact
sequences of heads and tails obtained.
b) Find the sample space S2 if we wish to observe the number of
heads in the three tosses.

2. Consider a random experiment of drawing two cards at random from a


bag containing 4 cards marked with the numbers 1 through 4:
a) Find the sample space S1 of the experiment if the first card is
replaced before the second is drawn.
b) Find the sample space S2 of the experiment if the first card is not
replaced.

3. An experiment consists of rolling a die until a 6 is obtained.


a) Find the sample space S1 if we are interested in all possibilities.
b) Find the sample space S2 if we are interested in the number of
throws needed to get a 6.

4. An experiment consists of tossing two dice.


(a) Find the sample space S.
(b) Find the probability that the sum of the dots on the dice equals 7.
(c) Find the probability that the sum of the dots on the dice is greater
than 10.
(d) Find the probability that the sum of the dots on the dice is greater
than 12.

5. 3 balls are randomly drawn from a box containing 6 white balls and 5
red balls. What is the probability that one of the balls is white and the
other 2 are red.
