The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment
A
sample space
B
event
C
experiment
D
results
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 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 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.
