A coin is flipped. If a heads is flipped, then the coin is flipped 5 more times and the number of heads flipped is noted; otherwise (i.e., a tails is flipped on the initial flip), then the coin is flipped 3 more times and the result of each flip (i.e., heads or tails) is noted successively. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?

A sports arena has three entrances (E1, E2, E3) and four different exits (X1, X2, X3, X4). As spectators come in, they enter through a random entrance E1,E2, or E3 and then exit through a random exit (X1,X2, X3, or X4). a. Create the sample space for this experiment listing all possible entrances and exits a spectator may use. Hint, how many outcomes are there? b. What is the probability a spectator enters from E3 and exits from X4? c. What is the probability a spectator does not enter from E1?
