Concept explainers
After the incident in Exercise 4, the professor got smart and dropped the die and the quarter in a box to prevent Klutzy Kramer from knocking them onto the floor again. Using a sample space similar to Example 3, find the probability that as each landed in the box,
(a) There was a tail on the coin and a number greater than 1 on the die.
(b) There was a head on the coin and an even number on the die.
(c) There was a tail on the coin and a number divisible by 3 on the die.
4. While walking into his stats class, Klutzy Kramer bumped into a table and knocked off a coin and a die the instructor was planning to use in demonstrating probability. Using a sample space similar to Example 3, find the probability that as each landed on the floor,
(a) There was a head on the coin and an odd number on the die.
(b) There was a head on the coin and a prime number on the die.
(c) There was a tail on the coin and a number less than 5 on the die.
