Question 1166980: An experiment consists of first rolling a die and then tossing a coin:
a. How many elements are there in the sample space?
b. Let A be the event that either a 1, 2, 3 or 4 is rolled first, followed by landing a tail on the coin toss.
P(A) =
Present your answer as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.
