Question 19 • Applications and Modeling

List all the elements of the sample space for the following experiment:You spin a spinner with four equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 and toss a dime.

Answer
A
(1, H), (2, H), (3, H), (4, H), (1, H), (2, H), (3, H), (4, H)
B
(1, H), (2, H), (3, H), (4, H), (1, T), (2, T), (3, T), (4, T)
C
(1, T), (2, T), (3, T), (4, T), (1, T), (2, T), (3, T), (4, T)
D
(1, H), (H, 1), (2, H), (H, 2), (3, H), (H, 3), (4, H), (H, 4), (1, T), (2, T), (3, T), (4, T)

Explanation

The spinner can land on 1, 2, 3, or 4, and the dime can show heads (H) or tails (T). Pair each spinner result with each coin result, giving eight outcomes: (1, H), (2, H), (3, H), (4, H), (1, T), (2, T), (3, T), and (4, T). Choice B lists exactly these outcomes.
