A bag contains one white and one red ball. A ball is drawn from the bag. If the ball drawn is white it is replaced in the bag and again a ball is drawn. Otherwise, a die is tossed. Write the sample space for this experiment.

Answer»

Given: A bag contains one white and one red ball. 

To Find: Write the sample space for the given experiment. 

Explanation: Here, There are 1 white ball , 1 red ball in a bag 

Let us denote White ball with W and Red Ball with W 

According to question, when one ball is drawn, it may be a white or Red. 

So, The sample space of drawing on white ball with replacement 

Sw={(W, W), (W, R)} 

Again, If red ball is drawn , a dice is rolled 

So, The sample space for red ball with dice 

SR={(R, 1), (R, 2), (R, 3), (R, 4), (R, 5), (R, 6)} 

Thus, The required sample space for the experiment is: 

S=S∪ SR 

So, S= {(W, W), (W, R), (R, 1), (R, 2), (R, 3), (R, 4), (R, 5), (R, 6)} 

Hence, This is the sample space for given experiment
