Answer to Question #325048 in Statistics and Probability for Akib

Question

If an experiment consists of throwing a die and

then drawing a letter at random from the English

alphabet, how many points are there in the sample

space?

Answer 1

When a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the number of outcomes $N_1=6.$

When a letter drawing from the English alphabet, the possible outcomes are A, B, C, ...X, Y, Z, the number of outcomes $N_1=26.$

The total amount of points in the sample space of the experiment is

$N=N_1\cdot N_2=6\cdot26=156.$
