Question

David spins the spinner once. What is the sample space for this experiment?

• A. $\{1,3,5\}$
• B. $\{2,4\}$
• C. $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$

$\underset{–}{\text{Sample Space}:}$
Sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes or results of that experiment.

When David spins the spinner it can stop at any number $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ and $5$. Hence, the possible outcomes are $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ and $5$ only.

$\therefore$ Option (c.) is the correct answer.
