Detailed explanation-1: -A sample point is the most basic outcome of an experiment . It is one of the possible outcomes of the experiment. For example, when a coin is tossed, obtaining a head is a sample point. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a probabilistic experiment, a sample point is one of the possible outcomes of the experiment. The set of all sample points is called sample space.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each outcome is called a sample point. An event is a subset of a sample space. If we want to list all sample points with the occurrence of at least one H, we have HH, HT and TH.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each outcome in a sample space is called a sample point. It is also called an element or a member of the sample space. S = heads, tails, or, S = H, T. If we toss a coin three times, then the sample space is S = HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, TTH, THT, TTT.
Detailed explanation-5: -The sample space of a random experiment is the collection of all possible outcomes. An event associated with a random experiment is a subset of the sample space. The probability of any outcome is a number between 0 and 1. The probabilities of all the outcomes add up to 1.
