Question

Ten identical slips of papers labelled as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are in a bag. If we draw a slip from this bag what is the number of elements in the sample space ​

Answer 1

Number of elements in sample space -

• Total number of slips in the bag = 10
• If one of them is drawn out at random, the probability of obtaining either of the slips = 1/10
• Possible outcomes = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
• Number of elements in sample space after 1 slip is pulled out - 10
• Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
• Probability of pulling a slip from the sample space - 1/10
