document.write( "The space of events is the set of all pairs of the form (a,L), where \"a\" is an integer number from 1 to 6 and \"L\" is a letter H or T.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The number \"a\" represents the outcome of thrown the die, while the letter L represents the outcome of tossing coin.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the space of events has 6*2 = 12 elements with the probability of    each.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In case (b), the probability is 0 (zero), since the outcome \"7\" is impossible.\r\n" );
