Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment is the
A
probability experiment
B
outcome
C
event
D
sample space
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called a sample space. We shall denote the sample space by S. Hence, that the sample space is simply the set of all possible sample points of a given experiment.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a statistical experiment, and it is sometimes referred to as a probability space. And outcomes are observations of the experiment, and they are sometimes referred to as sample points. An event is a subset of a sample space as discussed by Shafer and Zhang.

Detailed explanation-4: -The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space. Events are subsets of the sample space, and they are assigned a probability that is a number between zero and one, inclusive.

Detailed explanation-5: -Summary: The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes for that experiment. You may have noticed that for each of the experiments above, the sum of the probabilities of each outcome is 1. This is no coincidence. The sum of the probabilities of the distinct outcomes within a sample space is 1.
