Exercise · ZW-SAMPLE-SPACE-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
A six-sided die is rolled and the number shown is recorded. What is the sample space?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\)
Explanation
The sample space lists every possible outcome: the six faces. \(\{2,4,6\}\) would be an event (rolling an even number).
Review the concept: Sample space
A sample space \(\Omega\) is the set of all possible outcomes \(\omega\) of a random experiment.
\[\Omega=\{\omega_1,\omega_2,\omega_3,\dots\}\]
