It is the complete list of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
A
Experiment
B
Sample Point
C
Sample Space
D
Event
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sample space refers to the list of all possible outcomes of an experiment. Each possible outcome is represented by a single point in the sample space, irrespective of the number of ways that outcome can occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes, for example, for the die it is the set 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and for the resistance problem it is the set of all possible measured resistances. This set may be discrete or continuous.

Detailed explanation-3: -In particular, a random experiment is a process by which we observe something uncertain. After the experiment, the result of the random experiment is known. An outcome is a result of a random experiment. The set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
