Jo flips a coin {H,T}; then rolls a 6-sided die {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 12
D. 36
There are 2 possible outcomes for flipping a coin (heads or tails), and 6 possible outcomes for rolling a 6-sided die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). To find the total number of possible outcomes, we multiply the number of outcomes for flipping the coin by the number of outcomes for rolling the die:
2 × 6 = 12.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C. 12.
