Q7 of 43 Page 15

One die of red colour, one white and one of blue colour are placed in a bag. One die is selected at random and rolled, its colour and the number on its uppermost face is noted. Describe the sample space.


Suppose selected die is of red colour and the number is 1 on its uppermost face, then we denote this outcome by an ordered pair (R1) and so on.

The sample space is given by:

S = {R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6} where R, W and B stands for Red, White and Blue coloured dies respectively.
