Question

An experiment involves pulling a ball from a bag. The bag holds 10 balls that are each labeled with one letter from A to J. No letter appears more than once in the bag. What is the sample space of the experiment? Enter your answer in the box in alphabetical order. Separate each member of the sample space with a comma.

Answer 1

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J

The sample space for an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes for the experiment. This is experiment is a single step experiment, meaning that only one ball will be drawn from the bag. Since this is the case, all possible outcomes involve pulling any letter labeled A - J. No letter appears more than once in the bag, so there is only a 1 in 10 chance of drawing each letter.
