Case 1 With first toss if a tail turns up, the experiment stops. So getting a 'Tail' in 1st toss is one event. Case 2 Suppose it is a Head, then we throw a die. Here again the experiment will come to an end if we get an odd number on the die. 3 possibilities exists a Head and 1, a Head and...

Case 1 With first toss if a tail turns up, the experiment stops. So getting a 'Tail' in 1st toss is one event. Case 2 Suppose it is a Head, then we throw a die. Here again the experiment will come to an end if we get an odd number on the die. 3 possibilities exists a Head and 1, a Head and 3, or a Head and 5. Case 3 After getting a head on the first toss we toss a die and this time we get an even number on a die then we throw the die again. Here we have total 18 possibilities, which are as follows: a Head and 2 and 1 a Head and 2 and 2 a Head and 2 and 3 a Head and 2 and 4 a Head and 2 and 5 a Head and 2 and 6 a Head and 4 and 1 a Head and 4 and 2 a Head and 4 and 3 a Head and 4 and 4 a Head and 4 and 5 a Head and 4 and 6 a Head and 6 and 1 a Head and 6 and 2 a Head and 6 and 3 a Head and 6 and 4 a Head and 6 and 5 a Head and 6 and 6 So total number of events = 1+3+18= 22 and the sample space is S={T,H1,H3,H5,H21,H22,H23,H24,H25,H26,H41,H42,H43,H44,H45,H46,H61,H62,H63,H64,H65,H66} read less

The sample space is S = {T, H1, H3, H5, H21, H22, H23, H24, H25, H26, H41, H42, H43, H44, H45, H46, H61, H62, H63, H64, H65, H66}

A coin has two faces: head (H) and tail (T). In that we need only H. A die has six faces that are numbered from 1 to 6, with one number on each face. Among these numbers, 2, 4, and 6 are even numbers, while 1, 3, and 5 are odd numbers. Here, we need only even. If it is odd, the process will be...

A coin has two faces: head (H) and tail (T). In that we need only H. A die has six faces that are numbered from 1 to 6, with one number on each face. Among these numbers, 2, 4, and 6 are even numbers, while 1, 3, and 5 are odd numbers. Here, we need only even. If it is odd, the process will be terminated. Hence, Head along with even numbers on the die is our sample space.So, S= {H2, H4,H6} read less

Teaching because it is fun

This question can b solved by applying simple logical interpretation of the given question: The outcomes can be of three types: 1) Single event only (Tail is the outcome), n(single event)=1 2) Double event (Head followed by the three odd numbers on the die) n (double event) = 1 x 3= 3 3) Triple...

This question can b solved by applying simple logical interpretation of the given question: The outcomes can be of three types: 1) Single event only (Tail is the outcome), n(single event)=1 2) Double event (Head followed by the three odd numbers on the die) n (double event) = 1 x 3= 3 3) Triple event (Head, followed by even number, followed by all the six numbers) n (triple event) 1 x 3 x 6 = 18. Therefore, n(sample space) = 22. It shouldn't be difficult to figure out the sample space from here. read less

Matrix MATH

Think about how many ways the experiment comes to an end: 1) Toss—output=T, experiment stopped. So one outcome= T 2) Toss—output=H, next step Throw the die—output= 1 or 3 or 5, experiment stopped. So outcomes= (H,1), (H,3), (H,5). 3) Toss—output=H, next step Throw the die—output= 2 or 4 or 6, next...

So outcomes= (H,1), (H,3), (H,5). 3) Toss—output=H, next step Throw the die—output= 2 or 4 or 6, next throw the die again—output= 1,2,3,4,5,6. So Outcomes= (H,2, anyone from (1 to 6) ), (H,4, anyone from (1 to 6) ), (H,6, anyone from (1 to 6) ). So the required Sample Space: { (T), (H,1), (H,3), (H,5), (H,2, anyone from (1 to 6) ), (H,4, anyone from (1 to 6) ), (H,6, anyone from (1 to 6) ) } read less

When I took physical chemistry a long time ago, I found a two volume paperback set that was purely devoted to solving problems in physical chemistry; they went through the major areas, such as gas law, thermodynamics, etc., set up problems, and showed in detail how they were solved. And in graduate school, they helped me pass the physical chemistry prelims. I don't know if something like that is still published, but I would try and find out if they are.
