Determine if each experiment meets the conditions to be a random experiment.
Justify the response:
1. Toss three coins at once:
Yes, it is a random experiment, as we have quantified the number of variables and the
possible outcomes.
Identify the time it is going to rain
R//No, it is a random experiment, since we do not have quantified the number of times that
It rains for hours.
3. Determine the average of the grades of an English course
No, it is a random experiment, since we do not have quantified the number of notes.
to average.
Predict the time the sun rises
Yes, it is a random experiment, since there is a time interval in which the sun rises.
draw two cards from a poker deck
Yes, it is a random experiment, since we have quantified the cards and their possible outcomes.
combinations.
Establish the sample space of the following experiments.
4. Roll a die and toss two coins at the same time.

6. Roll two different dice at the same time.
Each die has 6 outcomes; the probability that they are the same is the sample space is 6 x 6.
there are 36 equally probable outcomes

- Observe the following tree diagram
Write an experiment that fits the tree diagram.
A house needs to be painted and we have four colors: yellow, blue, red, and green.
What quality and artistic design themes can you choose only two colors with?
In the previous tree diagram, we can identify all possible solutions.
Determine the number of sample points in the sample space.
The number of sample points is 12

sure.
R// Simple event:
There are four pencils of yellow, blue, green, and black; if one (1) pencil is selected at random, which one?
What is the probability that the yellow pencil will come out?
- The probability is 1
R// Secure event:
There are four colored pencils: yellow, blue, green, and black. If you select two pencils at random, which one?
What is the probability of yellow and black coming out?
the probability is 2
