Question

Describe the sample space for the following experiment: We randomly select one of the letters in a word RAN. Give your answer using set notation, i.e. list all elements of the sample space in braces {} and separate them with a comma. Do not include spaces.

Answer 1

Answer:

S={R,A,N}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three letters in a word RAN i.e. R, A and N. The sample space consists of all possible outcomes of an experiment. So, the sample for selecting a letter from word RAN will be

Sample Space=S={R,A,N}

As, there are three possible letters that can be selected n(S)=3

Thus, the required sample in the set notation is

S={R,A,N}.
