Exploring Compound Events and Sample Space

What is a compound event?

• A compound event is a single simple event.

• A compound event is an event that cannot be broken down.

• A compound event is an event that occurs only once.

• A compound event is an event made up of two or more simple events.

Identify the sample space for rolling a six-sided die.

• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

• {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

• {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7}

• {1, 2, 3, 4}

If you flip a coin and roll a die, what is the sample space?

• {(T, 1), (T, 2), (T, 3), (T, 4), (T, 5)}

• {(H, 1), (T, 1), (H, 2), (T, 2)}

• {(H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4), (H, 5), (H, 6), (T, 1), (T, 2), (T, 3), (T, 4), (T, 5), (T, 6)}

• {(H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4)}

What are independent events? Give an example.

• Drawing a card from a deck and flipping a coin

• Rolling two dice and getting the same number

• An example of independent events is flipping a coin and rolling a die.

• Choosing a random number and picking a fruit from a basket
