Question

An experiment consists of rolling a die, flipping a coin, and spinning a spinner divided into 4 equal regions. The number of elements in the sample space of this experiment is

3

48

6

12

Answer 1

The correct answer option is 48.

Explanation:

In the given experiment, three events take place which include rolling a die, flipping a coin and spinning a spinner.

The possible outcomes of each of these events are as follows:

Rolling a die - 6

Flipping a coin - 2

Spinning a spinner - 4

Therefore, by multiplying their possible outcomes, we can find the number of elements in the sample space of this environment.

Number of elements = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48
