Question 337673: The experiment consists of three steps:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
3. Roll the die.
SAMPLE SPACE:List all the possible outcomes for this experiment. You may abbreviate (H for heads, T for tails, etc.) You are not actually performing the experiment at this point – just listing the possible outcomes that COULD occur.
PROBABILITY:
Choose one of the outcomes listed above. Based on the sample space above, what is the theoretical probability that the outcome will occur? (write the probability as a fraction and as a decimal.)
Outcome:_____________ Probability: ___________________

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The experiment consists of three steps:
1. Flip the coin.
2. Flip the coin again.
3. Roll the die.
SAMPLE SPACE:List all the possible outcomes for this experiment. You may abbreviate (H for heads, T for tails, etc.) You are not actually performing the experiment at this point – just listing the possible outcomes that COULD occur.

Coin results
tt ; th ; ht ; hh
-----------------------
Final results:
Each of the above is coupled with 1,2,3,4,5,6
Giving you a total of 4*6 is 24 possible results in the sample space.
================================================
PROBABILITY:
Choose one of the outcomes listed above. Based on the sample space above, what is the theoretical probability that the outcome will occur? (write the probability as a fraction and as a decimal.)
-----
P(tt3) = 1/24 = 0.0417
==========================
