A fair die is tossed twice. What is its smple size?
Answer Details
When a fair die is tossed twice, there are 6 possible outcomes for the first toss and 6 possible outcomes for the second toss, giving a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes for the two tosses combined.
Each possible outcome can be represented by an ordered pair (a,b), where a is the outcome of the first toss and b is the outcome of the second toss.
Therefore, the sample space of this experiment has 36 possible outcomes, making the correct answer.
