Two dice are thrown. The events $A,\, B$ and $C$ are as follows:
$A:$ getting an even number on the first die.
$B:$ getting an odd number on the first die.
$C:$ getting the sum of the numbers on the dice $\leq 5$
State true or false $:$ (give reason for your answer)
Statement : $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive

$B:$ getting an odd number on the first die.
$C:$ getting the sum of the numbers on the dice $\leq 5$

Statement : $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive
$A=\left\{\begin{array}{l}(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3) \\ (4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\end{array}\right\}$
$B=\left\{\begin{array}{l}(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3), \\ (3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)\end{array}\right\}$
$C=\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(4,1)\}$
It is observed that $A \cap B=\phi$
$\therefore A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive.
Thus, the given statement is true.

A fair coin is tossed four times, and a person win $\mathrm {Rs.}$ $1$ for each head and lose $\mathrm {Rs.}$ $1.50$ for each tail that turns up. From the sample space calculate how many different amounts of money you can have after four tosses and the probability of having each of these amounts.

An experiment consists of rolling a die and then tossing a coin if the number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd, the coin is tossed twice. Write the sample space for this experiment.
