since the maximum number of children in each family is $2,$ a family can either have $2$ girls or $1$ girl or no girl.

Hence, the required sample space is $S =\{0,1,2\}$

A box contains $1$ red and $3$ identical white balls. Two balls are drawn at random in succession without replacement. Write the sample space for this experiment.

A die is thrown repeatedly until a six comes up. What is the sample space for this experiment ?

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 $\leq 5$

Describe the events $A^{\prime }.$

If $\frac{2}{11}$ is the probability of an event, what is the probability of the event $'$ not $A ^{\prime}$.

Let $E _{1}, E _{2}, E _{3}$ be three mutually exclusive events such that $P \left( E _{1}\right)=\frac{2+3 p }{6}, P \left( E _{2}\right)=\frac{2- p }{8}$ and $P \left( E _{3}\right)$ $=\frac{1- p }{2}$. If the maximum and minimum values of $p$ are $p _{1}$ and $p _{2}$, then $\left( p _{1}+ p _{2}\right)$ is equal to.
