L=loss, W=win

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes, so the set of all possible scenarios in the experiment.

what may happen is the following:

W, W, W
(win, win, win, then stop because the player wont play more than 3 games)

W, W, L

W, L
(loses the second game and stops)

L
(loses the first game and stops)

Answer: {WWW, WWL, WL, L}
