Answer:
Therefore, Size of the sample space = 32
Explanation:
Number of times a coin is tossed up = 5
Number of possible outcomes in a toss of a coin = 2 ( Head or a Tail)
The sample space can be calculated by calculating total number of possible outcomes in 5 tosses of the coin.
Number of outcomes in 1 toss of a coin = 2
Number of outcomes in 2 tosses of a coin = 2 × 2
Number of outcomes in 3 tosses of a coin = 2 × 2 × 2
Number of outcomes in 4 tosses of a coin = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
Number of outcomes in 5 tosses of a coin = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 32
Therefore, Size of the sample space = 32
