Sample Space and Cardinality: WK11-LAS1-SAP-II-11

This document discusses sample space and cardinality. It defines sample space as all possible outcomes of an event, and provides examples like rolling a die. Cardinality refers to the number of elements in a set, represented by n(A). The document provides examples of finding the sample space and cardinality of experiments like tossing coins, rolling dice, and drawing cards. It explains that the cardinality is found by listing the sample space and counting the number of possible outcomes.

SAMPLE SPACE

AND CARDINALITY
WK11-LAS1-SAP-II-11
Learning Target(s):
• At the end of the lesson, the
student should be able to
understand what is the cardinality
of a sample space.
SAMPLE SPACE
Sample space is all the possible
outcomes of an event. Sometimes
the sample space is easy to determine.
For example, if you roll a dice, 6 things
could happen. You could roll a 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, or 6
CARDINALITY
The cardinality of a set A is the
number of elements in the set, and is
represented by n(A).
Exercise:
A. List the outcomes of the sample space of the following experiments.
Then find the cardinality of the sample space.
1. Tossing three coins
S = {TTT, TTH, THH, THT, HHT, HTH, HTT, HHH}
n(S) = 8
2³ = 8
2. Rolling a die and tossing a coin simultaneously.
S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}
n(S) = 12 6¹(2¹) = 6(2) = 12
3. Tossing a coin and spinning the spinner with 8 numbers.
S = {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8}
n(S) = 16 2(8) = 16
4. Getting a defective item when two items are randomly selected from a box
of two defective and three non-defective items.
S = {D₁D₂, D₁N₁, D₁N₂, D₁N₃, D₂N₁, D₂N₂, D₂N₃, N₂N₃, N₁N₂, N₁N₃}
n(S) = 10 ₅C₂ = 10
5. Drawing a spade from a standard deck of cards
n(S) = 52
6. Drawing a card greater than 7 from a deck of cards
n(S) = 52
B. Find the cardinality of the sample of each experiment.
1. Tossing a Coin
n(S) = 2¹ = 2
2. Tossing Two Coins
n(S) = 2² = 4
3. Tossing Three Coins
n(S) = 2³ = 8
4. Rolling a Die
n(S) = 6¹ = 6
5. Rolling Two Dice
n(S) = 6² = 36
6. Rolling Three Dice
n(S) = 6³ = 216
7. Rolling a Die and Tossing a Coin Simultaneously
n(S) = 6¹(2¹) = 6(2) = 12

 8.Rolling Two Dice and Two Coins Simultaneously
n(S) = 6²(2²) = 36(4) = 144
9. Rolling a Die and Tossing Three Coins Simultaneously
n(S) = 6¹(2³) = (6)(8) = 48
10. Rolling Three Dice and Tossing Three Coins
n(S) = (6³)(2³) = (216)(8) = 1,728
11. Drawing a Standard Deck of Cards
n(S) = 52
12. Drawing Three Balls from a Box Containing Ten Balls
n(S) = ₁₀C₃ = = = = 120
13. Drawing Four Marbles from an Urn Containing 15 Marbles
n(S) = ₁₅C₄ = = = = 1,365
14. Drawing Two Apples from a Basket Containing 8 Apples
n(S) = ₈C₂ = = = = 28
