Answer: True. The sample space is S = {(4,9), (4,12), (9,4), (9,12), (12,4), (12,9)}.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The numbers 4, 9, and 12 are written separately on three pieces of paper.
These slips of paper are then placed in a bowl. If you draw two slips from the bowl, one at a time, WITHOUT REPLACEMENT ( i..e sample space cannot include (4,4) , (9,9) , (12, 12) in it.), then the sample space for this experiment will be : {(4,9), (4,12), (9,4), (9,12), (12,4), (12,9)} which has six elements.
Hence, the given statement is True,
∵ The sample space is S = {(4,9), (4,12), (9,4), (9,12), (12,4), (12,9)}.
