Question

Six students are selected at random from an engineering class and classified as male or female.List the elements of sample space S1 using the letter M for male F for female. Define a second sample space S2 Where the elements represent the number of females selected

Answer 1

S1 = {MMMMMM, MMMMMF, MMMMFF, MMMFFF, MMFFFF, MFFFFF, FFFFFF}

Because 6 students are selected at random, the number of selected female students can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6

So, the sampe space S2 is

S2 = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
