Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The collection of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called the sample space. In this case, rolling a four-sided die has four possible outcomes, which make up the sample space: {1, 2, 3, 4}. The other options (a census, the probability, and the distribution) do not accurately describe the collection of possible outcomes.
