Solution 1

The sample space consists of all possible outcomes of an experiment. In this case, the experiment consists of two parts: flipping a coin and drawing a marble.

  1. Flipping a coin has two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T).

  2. Drawing a marble has three possible outcomes: drawing a purple marble (P) or drawing a white marble (W).

To find the total number of possible outcomes in the sample space, you multiply the number of outcomes for each part of the experiment.

So, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (from the coin) * 3 (from the marbles) = 6 possible outcomes.

These outcomes can be listed as: HP1, HP2, HW, TP1, TP2, TW. (H/T represents the outcome of the coin flip, P1/P2/W represents the outcome of drawing the marbles).
