AProbability
BSample space
CEvent space
DOutcome list
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Sample space
1. Every possible result must be accounted for before probabilities can be assigned.
2. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes.
3. Three ways to represent a sample space are to list the possible outcomes, to create a tree diagram, or to create a Venn diagram.
4. An event is a subset of that sample space rather than the whole of it.
