SAMPLE SPACE

AND SAMPLE
POINT
 ACTIVITY #1:
WORDSCAPES

DIRECTIONS: SWIPE
THE LETTERS IN
VARIOUS DIRECTIONS
TO FORM A WORD.
SAMPLE SPACE is the set of all possible
outcomes of an experiment and is
denoted by S.
 SAMPLE POINT is an individual
outcome in the sample space. It is one
of the possible outcomes.
EXAMPLE 1:
TOSSING A COIN
WHEN FLIPPING A COIN, TWO OUTCOMES
ARE POSSIBLE, SUCH AS HEAD AND TAIL.
THEREFORE THE SAMPLE SPACE FOR THIS
EXPERIMENT IS GIVEN AS

SAMPLE SPACE, S = { H, T } = { HEAD, TAIL }

HEAD IS AN EXAMPLE OF SAMPLE POINT
EXAMPLE 2:
DECK OF CARDS
IN THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, THE CLOWN AS YOU TO
CHOOSE A CARD FROM A DECK AS PART OF HIS
MAGIC.

THERE ARE 52 CARDS IN A DECK (NOT INCLUDING

JOKERS)

SO THE SAMPLE SPACE IS ALL 52 POSSIBLE

CARDS:
{ACE OF HEARTS, 2 OF HEARTS, ETC... }
EXAMPLE 2:
DECK OF CARDS
SO THE SAMPLE SPACE IS ALL 52 POSSIBLE
CARDS:
{ACE OF HEARTS, 2 OF HEARTS, ETC... }

SAMPLE POINT :
·THE 5 OF CLUBS IS A SAMPLE POINT
·THE KING OF HEARTS IS A SAMPLE POINT
EXAMPLE 3:
ROLLING A DIE

SAMPLE SPACE: S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

 EXAMPLE
ROLLING A DIE
3:

THERE ARE 6 DIFFERENT SAMPLE POINTS IN THAT SAMPLE

SPACE.
ACTIVITY 2:
ILISTA MO NA!
Directions: List all the sample space of all
possible outcomes on the given experiments.

1. Suppose you flip a coin twice, and you get a head (H)
on the first toss and a tail (T) on the second toss.
2. Flipping a coin and rolling a die once simultaneously.
3. In an experiment, a card is picked from a stack of 5
cards that spell the word “table
