Question

Determine whether the statement is true or false. You toss a coin and roll a die. The event​ "tossing tails and rolling a 4 or 6​" is a simple event.

Answer 1

Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for any event = $\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Definition : A simple event is an event that has only one possible favorable outcomes.

If we toss a coin and roll a die .

The possible outcomes for event​ "tossing tails and rolling a 4 or 6​" = {(T, 4) , (T,6)}

Since this event has 2 possible favorable  outcomes , Therefore it is not an simple event.

Hence, the given statement is "false".
