SOLUTION: An experiment is performed where a 3-color spinner is spun and then a 4-sided die is rolled. The possible outcomes for each event are red (R), blue (B), and yellow (Y) for the 3-c

Question 1075053: An experiment is performed where a 3-color spinner is spun and then a 4-sided die is rolled. The possible outcomes for each event are red (R), blue (B), and yellow (Y) for the 3-color spinner and 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the 4-sided die. Identify the sample space for this experiment.

3 colors and 4 numbers.

sample space contains 3 * 4 = 12 elements.

probability to get a color is 1/3.
probbility to get a number is 1/4.
combine probability to get a color and a number is 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12
sum of the probabilities is equal to 1.
