Tree Diagrams, Tables, and Outcomes · Example 3
Identify the sample spaces of these experiments using tables.
(a) You roll two dice: one 4-sided and one 6-sided.
(b) You’re in an ice-cream shop, and you’re going to get a single scoop of ice cream with a topping. The flavors of ice cream you’re considering are vanilla, chocolate, and rocky road; the toppings are fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
(c) The pea plants you’re breeding have two possible pod colors: green and yellow. These colors are decided by a particular gene, which comes in two types: “G” for green, and “g” for yellow (In genetics, capital letters usually denote dominant genes, while lower-case letters denote recessive genes). Each plant has two genes. If you breed a Gg pea plant with a gg plant, the offspring plant will get one gene from each parent. What are the possible outcomes?
