  1. Example 1 • A four sided die is rolled and a coin is flipped. • How many outcomes are there? • What is the sample space? • How many outcomes contain a prime? • What is the probability of rolling a prime? Tree diagrams and tables A multistage event consists of 2 or more events occurring together. Tables can display the outcomes for 2 stage events. Tree diagrams can display the outcomes for multistage events. • 4 × 2 = 8 • See below c) 4 d) P(prime) = 4/8 = ½
