Question

question 10 points 1
which of the following is an example of compound events?
two dice being rolled
three coins being tossed
two cards being drawn from a deck of cards
all of the choices

Explanation:

Define compound events

Using the Compound Probability knowledge point
A compound event consists of two or more simple events occurring together or in sequence. Unlike a simple event, which has a single outcome (like rolling one die or tossing one coin), a compound event combines multiple independent or dependent trials.

Analyze the first option

The event "Two dice being rolled" involves rolling the first die (simple event) and rolling the second die (simple event). Because it combines two distinct trials, it is a compound event.

Analyze the second option

The event "Three coins being tossed" combines three separate coin tosses, each of which is a simple event. Since it involves multiple trials, it is a compound event.

Analyze the third option

The event "Two cards being drawn from a deck of cards" involves drawing a first card and then drawing a second card. This sequence of two trials makes it a compound event.

Determine the correct choice

Since all three individual scenarios represent compound events, the correct choice is "All of the choices".

Answer:

• (A) Two dice being rolled
• (B) Three coins being tossed
• (C) Two cards being drawn from a deck of cards
• (D) All of the choices (Correct answer)
