Question 167322: can someone please help me with this problem.
For the experiment described, write the indicated event in set notation.
A die is tossed twice with the tosses recorded as an ordered pair. Represent the following event as a subset of the sample space: The second toss shows a two.
a.{(1,2),(3,2),(5,2)}
b. {(1,2),(2,2),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2)}
c. {(3,2)}
d. {(1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2)}

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when a die is tossed the possible outcomes are {1,2,3,4,5,6}
so when a die is tossed twice the possible outcomes are:
S =
{(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)(3,1)(3,2)((3,3)(3,4)
(3,5)(3,6)(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)(5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,1)(6,2)
(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6)}
From this outcome sample space for the event in which second toss shows 2 are
{ (1,2)(2,2)(3,2)(4,2)(5,2)(6,2)}
