An experiment consists of rolling one die. Let A be event that the die shows more than one, B be event that the die shows more than 4, and C be event that die shows an even number.

a) List the sample space of this experiment.

Since there are 6 probabilities while rolling a die, we can show the sample space as below:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

b) Find P (A), P (B), P(C)
Since A is the event that the die shows more than 1, the die may show 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Since each number has a probability of 1/6, P (A) will be the sum of their probabilities:

P (A) = P (2) + P (3) + P (4) + P (5) ...
