A coin and pair of dice are tossed together, the total number of possible outcome for an experiment is:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
When independent random experiments are performed simultaneously, the total number of possible elementary outcomes in the sample space is the product of the outcomes of each individual component. A fair coin has 2 outcomes and a pair of six-sided dice has 6 * 6 = 36 outcomes, yielding 2 * 36 = 72 possible outcomes in total.
