Let's determine the sample space of tossing a coin AND rolling a number cube.
Coin: {Heads or Tails}
Number Cube: {1,2,3,4,5 or 6}
11
Multiple Choice
How many possible outcomes or combinations can we get if we toss a coin, and roll a number cube?
6 total outcomes
8 total outcomes
14 total outcomes
12 total outcomes

Multiple Choice
How many different ways can we toss a head, and roll a 6?
1 times
2 times
12 times
6 times
13
How do you find the total number of Outcomes?
Fundamental Counting Principle
14
F.C.P.
Determine how many ways or outcomes an event has.
Determine this for each action
Ex: rolling a pair of dice
Die 1 has 6 outcomes: {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Die 2 has 6 outcomes: {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Multiply the two outcome totals together
6 x 6 = 36
15
Multiple Choice
What is the total number of outcomes for...
Tossing 3 coins
2 x 3 = 6
2 x 2 x 2 = 8
3 x 3 = 9
