Question

How many outcomes are in the sample space when rolling a standard number cube and spinning a spinner with 4 equal sections?

Answer 1

There are 24 outcomes in the sample space.

Explanation:

Suppose that we have some events, such that each one of these events has a given number of outcomes.

If we have an experiment where we perform all of these events, the total number of possible outcomes is equal to the product between the number of outcomes for each one of the events.

Let's apply this to our case.

Here we have two events:

Rolling a standard number cube: 6 outcomes

Spinning a spinner with 4 equal sections: there are 4 outcomes.

Then the total number of outcomes in the sample space is the product:

C = 6*4 = 24 outcomes.

There are 24 outcomes in the sample space.
