Essay

Suppose that you roll a die and record the number that comes up and then flip a coin and record whether it comes up heads or tails. One possible outcome can be represented as 2H (a two on the die followed by heads). Make a list of all the possible outcomes. What is the probability that you get tails and an even number? What assumption are you making when you find this probability?
