A fair coin is tossed, and a fair die is thrown. Write down sample spaces for (a) the toss of the coin; (b) the throw of the die; (c) the combination of these experiments. Let A be the event that a head is tossed, and B be the event that an odd number is thrown. Directly from the sample space, calculate P(An B) and P(AUB).
