Question

David spins the spinner once. What is the sample space $\left(\text{S}\right)$ for this experiment?​​​​​​​

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

Answer 1

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

$\underset{–}{\text{Sample Space}}$
Collection of all possible outcomes

If Allen spins the spinner once, the outcome can be $1$ or $2$ or $3$ or $4$ or $5$.

$\therefore$ Sample Space= $\text{S}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$, i.e., option (c.) is the correct one.
