Exercise 1.2. For breakfast Bob has three options: cereal, eggs or fruit. He has
to choose exactly two items out of the three available.
(a) Describe the sample space of this experiment.
Hint. What are the different possible outcomes for Bob's breakfast?
(b) Let A be the event that Bob's breakfast includes cereal. Express A as a
subset of the sample space.
Exercise 1.3.
(a) You flip a coin and roll a die. Describe the sample space of this experiment.
(b) Now each of 10 people flips a coin and rolls a die. Describe the sample
space of this experiment. How many elements are in the sample space?
(c) In the experiment of part (b), how many outcomes are in the event where
nobody rolled a five? How many outcomes are in the event where at least
one person rolled a five?

Given that,

The experiment is to roll a fair die twice.

The event A is the second roll is larger than the first.

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of the event.

The probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes of the event to the total number of outcomes.

The sample space of  roll a fair die 

Ω={1,2,3,4,5,6}
