Samuel says tossing a coin is a compound event because there are two possible outcomes. is he correct? explain why or why not.

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is no, in fact, tossing a coin is an experiment and not a compound event. The experiment of tossing a coin can result in one of two different outcomes, i.e., when we flip a coin we can get either a head or a tail. Each of these outcomes are called simple events because they can happen only in one way. With this experiment the only compound event is the sample space S={Head, Tail}.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
