- A fair coin is flipped, and a six-sided fair die is thrown at the same time. Give the sample space for the experiment above. What is the probability of getting a 3 on the die if a tail showed up on the coin?arrow_forwardWrite out the sample space and assume each outcome is equally likely. Then give the probability of the requested outcomes. A man is shopping for a new patio umbrella. There is a 7-foot and a 12-foot model, and each is available in black, forest green, and rust. (a) He buys a 12-foot forest green umbrella. (b) He buys a 7-foot umbrella. (c) He buys a black-colored umbrella. (a) He buys a 12-foot forest green umbrella. The probability is. (Type a simplified fraction.)arrow_forwardMai chooses a letter at random from the word DREAM, then flips a fair coin. 1. Write all the possible outcomes in the sample space. 2. What is the probability that Mai chooses the letter D and the coin lands on tails?arrow_forward
