Design an experiment, involving just a single coin (no dice or anything else!), which has exactly six possible outcomes. (a) Describe the experiment clearly and write down the sample space, explaining your notation. (b) Identify one simple event and one other event for your experiment. State them in words and then express them as sets.

2. In a population it is estimated that 20% have a desired trait of interest for the researcher. The researcher wants to know how many people on average he has to draw from a population to get 2 people with the trait. Use rows 20-24 of the Random Number Table to carry out the simulation. Explain clearly how you set up the problem and report your findings. Answer:
Write out the sample space and assume each outcome is equally likely. Then give the probability of the requested outcomes. A man is shopping for a new patio umbrella. There is a 7-foot and a 12-foot model, and each is available in black, forest green, and rust. (a) He buys a 12-foot forest green umbrella. (b) He buys a 7-foot umbrella. (c) He buys a black-colored umbrella. (a) He buys a 12-foot forest green umbrella. The probability is. (Type a simplified fraction.)

A coin is flipped once. If the result is a heads, the coin is flipped 2 more times, and the result (heads or tails) of each successive flip is noted. If the result is a tails, the coin is flipped 3 more times and the result of each successive flip is noted. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?
